Teddy
Bear Ear Tutorial
How to find
gauge: Cast on appx 10sts.
Measure how many sts are in each inch. The sts per inch count it
your gauge.
Step 1:
Find your gauge
Step 2:
Cast on the correct amount of sts to give you appx 3ins leaving a
long tail to sew the ear onto your hat. It doesn't have to be
perfect but you MUST use the same amount of sts for both ears.
Step 3:
Knit 3 rows then switch to stockinette st until you have appx
1-1.5ins from the cast on edge (I used 3 rows in garter st and 7rows
in stockinette st for the pictured ears).
Step 4: DO
NOT BIND OFF! Cut your yarn leaving a long tail (appx 8ins) and pull
it through all the sts.
Step 5:
Pull the yarn tail tight to
form a semi-circle and tie off your yarn tail.
Step 6:
Make the second ear.
Step 7:
Using the long tail from
casting on, sew your ears onto your hat.
Ta-da!
It's just that simple! You can add these ears to hats, hoodies,
blankies – whatever cuteness you can think up!
