[lnner Ear] Make 2.
Trace the ear. Draw the inner ear into the picture, and cut only that piece out. This is your template. Place the template over some dark purple felt (you can keep it there for now by using some pins) and cut out two inner-ears. Sew them onto each ear using a needle and thread. MAKE SURE TO FLIP THE OTHER EAR OVER, sO ensure you don't end up with two left ears.

Cut wire to 15" long. Fold in half. Then, using the ear as a guideline, fold the rest into a triangle shape, twisting the ends around each other to secure.
\*Ear and Jem Placement for Hat\*
Using the same-colored yarn as the ear, fasten both ears onto the 4th row from the top of a plain Hdc hat base. I like to sc the ear there temporarily with a two small pieces of yarn that I loop through to top and bottom. Wear the hat and look in the mirror, making adjustments to placement as necessary. Attach by sewing around the outside of the ear, as opposed to just sewing it all on at once straight through both sides. This helps with stability. Make sure to also sew around the wire on the bottom. It makes a protective cover while also keeping the wire firmly attached to one side of the ear. (It won't move around this way.)
