Yoda ears

So I get asked a lot about my yoda ear pattern on etsy. Instead of trying to sell it I thought I would go ahead and give it out for free. I usually only write patterns in a way that I can understand so if there is anything that doesn't make sense go ahead and comment and I'll try to clarify.

I think the ears work best with Lily's Sugar n Cream yarn. I've tried other yarns and they just don't have the same effect. Hobby Lobby's I Love This Cotton is extremely soft but it also droops more than Lily's Sugar n Cream. In this picture I used I Love This Cotton and while it's very cute the ears seem to also come out smaller.

Yarn: Lily's Sugar and Cream in color Sage
Hook: F

Leave a long tail and cut. When sewing on I usually like to line up the bottom of ears at the top where the earflaps are and sew on from there, Later I will try to post pictures of how I sew them on. I don't close them up and sew them on I try to leave them as open as possible they seem to stay up best that way.
