Place and pin the ears where you would like them to be on the hat (a third of the way down seams to work well).

You want the tops of the dog ears facing in, sitting on the right side of the fabric, you will then place the other half of the hat (right side down) on top. Using a 1/2 inch seam allowance, sew each side of the hat (the long curved side to the point before it dips into a “V”. Be sure to leave the bottom (the brim) open.

Fold the hat in half so the seams you just sewed are touching.

Now that you’ve sewn the sides of the hat it’s time to close the top. Fold the hat in half so the seams you just sewed are touching. Pin the “v” on each side closed. Sew one seam along the top of the hat closing the v on both sides. (This will make a rounded top.)
