KNITTING INSTRUCTIONS for Cat Ears
Make 2 Ear Backs: Long-Tail Cast On 14 Stitches
ROWS 1 – 7 K
ROWS 8 – 20 K, K2Tog last two stitches
Make 2 Ear Fronts: Long-Tail Cast On 12 Stitches
ROWS 1 – 6 K
ROWS 7 – 17 K, K2Tog last two stitches
Once you have 2 ear backs and 2 ear fronts completed, place one front on top of an back, use your tapestry needle and yarn to seam two sides together.
Now we will turn our work inside out. Add a bit of stuffing, then seam it all together.
Then we will give our ears a little bit more definition and dimension by knitting a vertical line half way up our ears.
Now, tack your ears onto your headband with your yarn and you are done!
