Joining the Ears

1. Take two ear pieces and place them on top of each other.
2. Attach white yarn to the edge of one piece.
3. Insert your hook through both layers, yarn over, and pull through to make a sc.
4. Single crochet all around the two pieces, joining them together. Leave the flat base open.
5. When you get to the very tip of the ear, make an inc3 (3 sc in one stitch) to help create a rounded point.
6. F.O. and leave a tail for sewing.
7. Insert the wire: Take a 3-inch wire and carefully slide it inside the ear. Let about 2cm of the wire poke out of the bottom. This wire will be inserted into the head to help you pose the ears! Repeat for the second ear.
