Time for Assembly
Ears
1. Trace and cut two inner ear pieces. 2. Using embroidery floss sew inner ears onto crocheted ears. 3. Fold bottom of ears (so the sides touch), and sew the bottom together and up the first three rounds (this will pinch and form the ears).
Muzzle
4. Sew pink nose onto muzzle piece by placing the round 2 stitches (nose top) on the center stitches of the muzzle.
5. Sew mouth under nose with pink yarn.
6. Pin muzzle to hat right above the reverse single crochet round on the bottom.
Eyes
7. Using eye color yarn sew pupil onto white of eye towards the bottom. 8. Using the white eyes tail, sew a twinkle in the pupil of the eye. 9. Pin eyes to hat above muzzle.
\*\~\* Feel free to adjust the muzzle and the eyes to get them in the exact place that you want them. 10.Sew muzzle onto hat. 11. With white sew whiskers onto hat from side of muzzle to head on both sides of the nose. 12.Sew eyes onto hat using the white yarn from the twinkle. 13. Place ears on top of the hat until you like the position. I like to go 4 to 5 rounds out towards the front from the center for smaller sizes, and 5 to 6 round out towards the front for the larger sizes. \*\~\* By going out towards the front
of the hat instead of off to the side, the ears will be on top of the person's head. Otherwise the ears will be off to the back.
14.Sew ears onto hat. To help them stay standing in place, be sure to sew all the way around the base of the ears. They will always have a little wiggle to them. 15. Weave in all remaining ends. \*\~\*ENJOY \*\~\*
