Great beginner DIY idea.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 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.  Then follow the directions for the basic hat and you’re finished! Tip: Because of the multiple layers sew slowly over the sections with the ears – it will keep the stitches more even.
