Assembly: The ears can be assembled as upright or as floppy ears, depending on how you attach them to the top of the hat. The construction of the ears will allow them to stand upright without inserting any other substance inside. When stitching the pieces together I stitch between the posts of sc round and the final ss round (it tends to hide the stitches within the work). Before stitching them to the hat, I count stitches from the middle of the hat to try to ensure that they are evenly placed. You can use bits of yarn to mark placement (or safety pins).
