or screen grab the pattern pieces at the bottom of this post.

Start out by adding the mouth (Piece D) to the head (Piece A) with a black blanket stitch around the edge of the mouth. I used 4 strands of floss to add smile lines at the top of the mouth and the line coming up from the centre of the mouth.

Pop the nose (Piece B) into place with a green blanket stitch. Add a line of black stem stitch and a black french knot to give the nose some low lights. 

Use a red back stitch around the edge of the pupil (Piece E) to attach the pupil 

and eye (Piece C).

Using 4 strands of black, stem stitch around the outer edge of each eye. Give your Grinch smile lines around the eyes and eye lashes with some straight stitches. The eye brow is a line of stem stitch with straight stitches sticking out from the line. 

Go back to 2 strands for the black stem stitch swoop in each eyeball. Pop on a white french knot in each eyeball as well.

White back stitch the fur (Piece G) to the bottom of the Santa Hat (Piece F).

Keep going with the white back stitch to pop the hat on the Grinch's head.

Prepare the back piece in mirror image to the front.

Use a red blanket stitch around the edge of the hat to start closing up your ornament. Sandwich a piece of ribbon between the two sides before you stitch closed. Make sure to catch the ribbon in your stitches.

Close the white fur edges of the hat with a white back stitch. You can either stitch the white PomPom on with white thread or pop it on with a bit of hot glue. Stuff the hat before you sew up the Grinch's face.

Use a chartreuse blanket stitch to finish closing up your ornament. Make sure to stuff well before you stitch all the way around.

Pop your Grinch on your tree and ENJOY!!!!
