Join 2 ears together to help them stand up (you can stuff the ears if you want to but I haven't).
Join the ears to the hat. I find it easier to put the hat flat so you can position them correctly

  1. I'm trying out your pattern and getting a little confused. (know that I'm new to crochet)

    Once I get to about row 5 it started getting bunchy. So I started again to be sure that I was truly counting each stitch properly. I understand that once you finish each stitch in the row there are 40 stitches you have completed. My confusion comes in that if doesn't match up. If each part I repeat only uses 2 previous stitches, it's a total of 14 (2x7). When you add the 4 previous stitches, you have a total of 18. That doesn't add up to the 32 stitches in the previous row. What am I doing wrong? Am I supposed to skip a stitch??

    Thank you for your help.

  2. What you need to do on each row is increase by 8 stitches. I find it easier if I make the stitch which you need to join to which is the ch2

    You start with 8 stitiches in round 1
    The you put 2 stitchs in each stitch which then makes 16
    The next round you do 1 stitch and then the next has 2 stitches in this stitch to create the increase. You keep doing that around. So it’s 1 sc, 1 sc increase x 8
    You then go up 1 stitch that you only do one stitch in. so the next round you need to do 2 sc, 1 sc increase.
    By round 5 you should have 3sc, 1 sc increase. As long as you keep your tention even and the numbers even all the way round it should be ok. If you are still having problems try doing it with a hdc.

    For a hdc only do 6 hdc’s in the 2nd ch from the hook. You then increase by 6 each time. If you do it this way only increase to the round where you have 9hdc, 1 hdc increase. Then you do hdc around till round 25 and this should fit.

    Any problems let me know.
