Weave in bottom end of yarn.
Assembly:
Place hat on wig head. Place and sew ears. This yarn is great because it hides your stitches. If you don't have a wig head place hat on your head and while looking in a mirror place and pin your ears in place. Remove from head and sew ears to hat. Weave in all left over ends.
Ideas:
Want ears that double as a scarf? Lengthen the rows of 16.
Need a dose of kawaii? Cut out a cute anime style face from felt and embroider to hat.
Using blush add pink to ears and where cheeks would be on the face.
