CAT EAR WARMERS

Ch 15

Row 1: hdc in 2nd ch from the hook and in each ch across (14 hdc)

Row 2: ch 1, turn, hdc in 3rd loop of same stitch and in each stitch across (14 hdc)

Repeat rows 2 & 3 to row 37 – or until the band reaches 18” (continue to 20” for adult)

Fasten off, leave a long end for sewing.

Bring both ends together and whip stitch them together.

Weave in the ends.

EARS (make 2)

Make a magic ring

Round 1: ch 1, 3 sc in loop, join to first sc with sl st, pull ring closed (3 sc)

Round 2: ch 1, sc, 2 sc in next, sc in last, join to first sc with sl st (4 sc)

Round 3: ch 1, *sc, 2 sc in next* repeat from * to * one more time, join to first sc with sl st (6 sc)

Round 4: ch 1, *sc, 2 sc in next* repeat from * to * around, join to first sc with sl st (9 sc)

Round 6 & 7: ch 1, sc in each stitch around, join to first sc with sl st (13 sc)

Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing.

Use the long end to whip stitch the bottom closed.

Place the ears on the front of the ear warmers. I placed them about 7 rows apart and 4 stitches from the top.  I used stitch markers to keep the ears in place where I wanted them. Whip stitch them to the ear warmers.

Fasten off, weave in the ends.
