EARS
Make two. Using colour (PRINCESS BLUE GREY) yarn, make a magic circle.
Helpful hint: we are working in rounds.
Round 1
Ch 1 (does not count as a st), sc 5 into mc, place st marker into 5th sc and continue to work in the round (5 sc).
Helpful hint: move the stitch marker (or use a running marker) and place in the last stitch of each round; this will help keep your stitch count correct and help with round counting. Because we are working quite tightly in the round, I weave my beginning tail in whilst working round 2.

Ch 1 (does not count as st), sc 8 into mc, place st marker in 8th sc and continue to work in the round (8 sc).
Helpful hint: move the stitch marker (or use a running marker) and place in the last stitch of each round; this will help keep your stitch count correct and help with round counting. Because we are working quite tightly in the round, I weave my beginning tail in whilst working round 2.
