Crochet Minnie Mouse Ears Headband

    

I had the most wonderful morning yesterday and I can’t wait to tell you all about it! Back in 2011 I
started this little old blog which allowed me to establish a really great online community and meet
some sweet and fun fellow blogging moms from across the country (and world!). One of those
bloggers (who also crochets) is the fabulous Stephanie from All About Ami. Stephanie and I have
talked and networked over social media for almost 6 years! And yesterday morning I got the chance
to meet her!!! I moved to Southern California 2 years ago (we live about 25 minutes away from
Disneyland) and when I found out she was on a family vacation to Disneyland, we were able to
coordinate a time to meet up at the happiest place on earth! The time just flew by as we
chatted, drank coffee, and talked about our favorite subject: crochet. Best part was, our little future
crocheters got to meet too! My daughter is 3 and her daughters are 4 and 2 so they became instant
friends!

It was so good to finally meet sweet Stephanie in person and it was a pleasure to meet her husband
Ryan who is an incredibly nice guy and the talented photographer behind the All About Ami blog!

We didn’t purposely coordinate our outfits but Stephanie was dressed in Minnie Mouse attire and I
showed up with crocheted Minnie Mouse ears so it was a great photo opportunity!

Here is the pattern for the ears:

Materials:

–Bernat Super Value in Peony Pink and Black. Shop all colors at Yarnspirations.com.

– Teeny bit of white yarn or embroidery floss to sew buttons on with.

– Size H Crochet Hook
– Black Headband
– Poly-fil Fiber Stuffing
– 6 small white buttons (about ½ inch)
– Hot Glue Gun
– Tapestry Needle

Ears (make 4)

With black yarn

Magic Ring, chain 2 and make 12 HDC in ring, join to first HDC, chain 2

Round 2: 2 HDC in each stitch around, join, chain 2 (24 HDC)

Round 3: 2 HDC in first, HDC in next, repeat around, join, chain 2 (36 HDC)

Round 4: 2 HDC in first, HDC in next 2, repeat around, join, fasten off and weave in ends (48 HDC)

Place two ears together and slip stitch the edges together working your hook under the tops of the
HDC stitches from the last round.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Bow pattern (make 2 pieces):

With pink yarn

Chain 21, SC in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain, chain 1, turn

Row 2-4: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn (20 SC)

Row 5: SC decrease across first two, SC in next 16, SC decrease over last two, chain 1, turn (18 SC)

Row 6: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn (18 SC)

Row 7: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 16, 2 SC in last stitch, chain 1, turn (20 SC)

Row 8-11: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn (20 SC)

At the end of row 11, don’t fast off. Continue to SC around the edges but make a slip stitch over the
dip on either end that row Row 5 and 6 created.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Sew buttons onto one of the bow pieces. Be sure to leave middle empty of buttons.
Place the bow pieces together and SC the edges together. Again. Be sure to make a slip stitch in the
indents on either end instead of a SC. Before closing, you will need to stuff with poly-fil stuffing. You
only need to stuff the ends of the bows and leave the middle empty (or close to empty).

Wrap a strand of yarn tightly around the middle portion and sew in ends to secure. You will want to
wrap about 20-30 times.

Now you have a pretty puffy bow!

No sewing skills needed for this next part! You are going to hot glue the ears and bow onto the
headband  Be generous with the hot glue and try to get a large portion of the edge of the ear glued
to your headband. The bow should be glue onto the ears and also onto the headband for ultimate
support. I promise that mine did not flop over once!

The size of mine fit me perfectly but a child could wear them too! I would actually recommend going
down a hook size for a child and getting a child size headband
