3/13/16 Sewing the ears on sucked a little. It was hard to get them positioned right. I did use pipe cleaners to give them some shape but they don’t always stand up. All in all, I think the set is pretty cute and I hope the mom to be will like them!

3/12/16 The ears are knitted and just need to be sewn on. I think they look pretty good. I modified the ears from the Cottontail Bunny Hat. This is what I did:

Outer ear (make 2):
CO 10 via longtail. Work 5 rows in st st, starting and ending with a WS row.
Increase row: k1, m1r, k to last st, m1l, k1
Work 3 rows in st st
Repeat increase row
Work 9 rows in st st
Decrease row: k1, ssk, k to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1
P next row
Repeat dec row and p row twice more, then work dec row again. (4 sts)
BO purlwise

Inner ear (make 2):
CO 7 sts via longtail. Work 5 rows in st st, starting and ending with a WS row.
Increase row: k1, m1r, k to last st, m1l, k1
Work 3 rows in st st
Repeat increase row
Work 9 rows in st st
Decrease row: k1, ssk, k to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1
P next row
Repeat dec row and p row twice more.
K1, sl1 knitwise, k2tog, psso, k1 (3 sts)
BO purlwise

Sew pieces together from the RS using mattress st.

3/11/16 This will be part of a set for a newborn photo shoot. I made size 0-3 mo but used US8s instead of 9s for a slightly denser fabric. The next step will be figuring out how to make some bunny ears. I haven’t found a pattern for any that I really love, so I might just wing it. I’m planning to put pipe cleaners in them to help shape them as the recipient’s mom wants them to stand up.
