ASSEMBLY:

The ears can be assembled as upright or as floppy ears, depending on how you attach them to the top of thehat. The construction of the ears will allow them to stand upright without inserting any other substance inside.

After sewing the pink inner ear into the outer ear shell, I stitch the bottom part of the ears closed (to give some

extra shape to the ears).

When stitching the pieces together I stitch between the posts of sc round and the final ss round (it tends to hide

the stitches within the work).

Before stitching them to the hat, I count stitches from the middle of the hat to try to ensure that they are evenly

placed. You can use bits of yarn to mark placement (or safety pins).

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns, or corrections. I appreciate your feedback.
