Tips for the Chef Uniform
The chef hat is a simple white tube gathered at the top and lightly stuffed to keep its puffy shape. The apron is a flat rectangle with chain-stitch straps that tie around the neck and waist. Add a tiny crocheted spoon or rolling pin as an accessory for extra personality. Black eye patches worked as flat circles give the panda its classic look.
