Realistic looking wolf costume ears made with crochet.

The white part of this pattern is made using bulky weight yarn. The grey/brown part and the black part of the pattern can be made using either super bulky or bulky weight yarns. Making this pattern in super bulky weight rather than regular bulky weight results in a sturdier, and more fluff-able, pair of ears.

I used Lion Brand Homespun in white, grey/brown and black, but you can use any bulky/super bulky yarn.
For the white part, I used Lion Brand Homespun “Clouds”.
For the grey part, I used Lion Brand Homespun “Edwardian”
For the brown part, I used Lion Brand Homespun “Barley”
And for the black part, I used Lion Brand Homespun “Black”

You’ll need less than a skein of each.

To get the realistic furry look, I just lightly brushed my yarn after finishing my pieces using a hair brush. But if you prefer the fuzzy look of Homespun un-brushed, you don’t have to brush your yarn, you can just leave it as-is.

I couldn’t find a Homespun Thick & Quick in a shade I liked for the black part, but if you prefer you can use a different type of bulky weight yarn than homespun, such as Wool Ease Thick & Quick. It will work the same, it just won’t have that fuzzy look un-brushed. You could just brush the yarn, however.
Or you could just use 2 strands of regular bulky Homespun at the same time for the bulky grey/brown, and black parts if you want that homespun look (which is what I did).
