Use white yarn to sew the inner and outer ears together.

Sewing through the front loops only will hide the white yarn from the back.

Sew ears onto hood. Make sure they are equal distance from the middle.

  1. Wind the yarn around both arches. 
  2. Cut the yarn along the middle gap.
  3. Tie with a piece of scrap yarn. 
  4. Open the arches and remove the pom pom.
