ASSEMBLE

Sew the two cat ears onto the headband, making sure that they are even and secure. Weave in the loose ends. 
Since we used acrylic yarn, the ears should hold its shape well. Optionally, you can bend the ears too! (See photos). 

...and that's the whole project! super easy but so cute!

    Whatsup currently making this! R1 is pretty unclear imo, they meant crochet 3 then go back to the last stitch from R0 and do 3DC in that one same stitch. based on how its written i thought i had to do the dcs in the 3rd chain crochet TT

For the pattern, I'll keep it the traditional way, but know that you have the option to alternate your increase stitches if you like the look of a smoother curve.
