Making the Sides
Rnd 8: ch 3, 1 dc into each st around to the end, sl st into top of ch-3.
For all Following Rounds: Repeat Rnd 8 until you have the length you require. It's okay if you don't know what length you want, you can always fold the beanie up to make it look like a cuff if it's too long. Or you can use my rough guide below.
Newborn to 3 mths: Rep Rnd 8 (4 more times)
3 mths to 6 mths: Rep Rnd 8 (5 more times)
6 mths to 9 mths: Rep Rnd 8 (6 more times)

Place your beanie on a doll or a similar sized bowl, can or whatever you have.
Sew your ear/s wherever you want them to be. Sew 4 sts of the ear to the place you want it to be.
