Teddy Ear Additions - Pattern

Materials:

• Oombawka Designs Free Crochet Hat Pattern (Newborn-Adult)
• Yarn matching what you used to make the hat
• Hook matching what you used to make the hat
• Tapestry Needle
• ​Stitch Markers (optional)

Notes:
 This pattern is for Teddy Bear Ear Additions that you can make to attach onto any hat pattern. Each ear is made separately and then sewn onto a hat. Ears can be adjusted in size by increasing or decreasing the size of the hook and yarn.
    I used Oombawka Designs Free Simple Double Crochet Hat Pattern for the 3-6 month old size. The ears are made in a long, oval shape and are folded in half to get the adorable appearance of bear ears.
