Lay hat on a flat surface to find placement for the ears. With yarn needle and yarn tail, sew one edge of the ear (the sc sts) to the hat as shown in the photo below.

Pompom/Hair: Hold one strand of tan yarn and one strand of contrasting yarn (pink or lavender in samples) and wrap around the palm of your hand 10 times, depending on desired thickness of pom. Carefully slide the yarn off your hand and wrap an 8” length of yarn around the center, pulling tight and knotting to hold in place. Do NOT cut this piece of yarn. Pull each end through two stitches at the top of the beanie. Firmly tie a knot next to the top of the beanie. Trim pompom as desired. A piece of cardboard or pompom maker may also be used.

Frizzy Hair: I like to pull apart a few of the strands of the pompom for a softer, frizzy look.

I think they look cute like this too! Either stop here or add a face.

With a yarn needle and yarn tails, sew eyes in place. With a sewing needle and thread, sew a black button to each white eye piece.

Smile: With a yarn needle and brown yarn, stitch the smile in place.
