Make 2 inner ears with color of your choice
Repeat Outer ears Rows 1-5
Stack ears together and connect with a sc around.
Use a yarn needle to sew on ears. I suggest that you try the hat on the child before attaching the ears so you can get a better idea where to put the ears.

And I have to end this post with a few more pictures of this little cutie in the hat.  Enjoy!
