Ears (Make 2):

Ch 4, sl st in 1^st ch

Row 1 – 7 hdc in ch 4 sp, ch 1, turn

Row 2 – 0-3 Month - Sc in each st around, tie off

*Do NOT weave in ends, you will use them to attach the ears to the hat*

Attaching Ears:

Lie the hat flat and position ears so that the top of the ear is at about the bottom of round 2 and the bottom of the ear is at about the bottom of round 5.  Attach the ears by tying the two strands (one from the beginning of the ch for the ears and the other is the ending tail) together, sewing the remaining end of the ear down and weaving the ends in on the INSIDE of the hat.
