Working on the inside of the hat instead of outside, since the hat will be folded up you will want the pretty side of the stitch on the inside.

Switch to White for TEETH!
 

Attach yarn where you want your first tooth ( I folded my hat in half with the seam facing me, and attached it to the  18th stitch to the right… like in the picture above)

SC into next 3 stitches, turn,

do not SC into the same stitch, SC in next 3 stitches, turn,

do not SC into same stitch, SC into next 2 stitches, turn

do not SC into same stitch, SC into next stitch,  CH 1. finish off and weave end of string into the tooth

Skip 4 stitches (space between teeth) and repeat
