      Hi Libby,

      I would suggest finding an adult beanie you like and just attaching the ears.

      Delete
    6. Anonymous23 December 2014 at 12:17

      You can also make the ears bigger proportionately to the beanie-I'm making this for my boyfriend and I used the following for my ears (accomplished by multiplying number of rows and starting stitches by 1.2 and rounding where necessary):
      1-2: 7sc (7)
      3: 2sc in next, sc in next (11)
      4-5: sc around (11)
      6: 2sc in next, sc in next (17)
      7-12: sc around (17)
      13: 2sc in next, sc in next (26)
      14: sc around (26)
      15: 2sc in next, sc in next 2 (35)
      16-19: sc around (35)
      20: 2sc in next, sc in next 2 (47)
      21-26: sc around (47)
      27: sc2tog, 2 sc (35)
      28-29: sc around (35)
      30: sc2tog, 2 sc (26)
      31-32: sc around (26)

      Hi there, you can either find a basic beanie pattern and add the ears or go up a hook size. Going by the chart I use you will want your increase circle to be 6 inches. If you get to round 5 and you are still under 6 inches I would add a few increases in round 6. You will also need to add a couple more dc rounds so when finished your hat will be 7.5 inches from top to bottom. I hope this helps.

      To increase it is the same as the hat. Just place two sc into the same st. Here is a video that might help you out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zKgIe3Yu-4

    I'm trying to make this for a newborn. Decided to start on the ears first to see how big they would turn out. I'm on round 17 now. Using a 3.75 mm hook. I may have to tweak the pattern some. Any tips?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Teri30 March 2013 at 17:44

      Hi,
      With the ears I would probably just do row 18, then go straight to row 23 to shorten them a little bit.

      For the hat I would find a pattern that is newborn size with that hook. I don't have any patterns using that hook size and I would be afraid it would turn out too small if you used my newborn hat pattern.

      Hi there,

      When you see the numbers in brackets at the end of the rows they are the stitch counts you should have when you finish that round. So you do 2 sc, sc in next 2 stitches until you reach the beginning.

      So if you mark each beginning stitch of the round with a marker you should know when you need to start the next row. I hope that helps

    I love love love how the Yoda ears turned out! I posted pictures on my Ravelry account (britt83). Since I made it for a newborn, I did rounds 1-17, then skipped to rounds 23-25. Also used an E hook instead of G.

    I am loving how it is turning out so far! My son saw this on ravelry and HAD to have it for his preschool graduation. I've finished the hat and one ear and they are shaped perfectly!! The hat pattern wasn't too tough to adjust just a little bigger for his head. I just used a worsted yarn and added a few increases (okay..I actually just messed up round four, but it worked out perfectly, thank the crochet goddess).

    I made this for my grandson with a few adjustments for size. It turned out really well. I would love to send you the picture. I took it with my Ipod and I don't know how to put it on here but I could email it to you.
    I had a couple questions. The hat pattern is written as if it is not a continuous spiral. You mention the chain 2 at the beginning of each row but not a slip stitch to end each row. Is that how you meant it to be? Then on the ears, it reads more like it is done in a spiral fashion. Did you do them differently than the hat? Thanks, Idy Kiser

    I'm combining the ears from this pattern with a base hat to make a Yoda hat for my dog. But something's not adding up on the ears instructions. As I understand the increases, you only do 2 single crochets into the first stitch, then single crochet into each remaining stitch. I end up short on stitches for every increase row.

    So..Row 3 - 2 sc in first stitch, then single crochet around 5 remaining stitches - that adds up to only 7 stitches.
    Row 5 - 2 sc in first, sc around remaining 8 stitches - that's only 10 stitches. (And since you're really short from row 3, you'll only get 9 stitches.)

    I'm adapting by increasing at even intervals along the round, but something is definitely missing here??

    1. Teri26 May 2014 at 15:47

      You want to repeat the instructions until you reach the end of the round.

      So for round 3: 2 sc in first st, sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, sc in next st (9)

      Round 5: 2 sc in first st, sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, sc in next st,2 sc in next st, sc in next st, 2 sc in next st (14)

      Basically the repeats stop at the start of the next round. Make sure to mark with a stitch maker.

      Thanks for the reply. I actually found that tip on Ravelry, where someone had commented about those rounds needing to be repeated. I just finished the little hat today, and it's so cute! Thanks for the great ear pattern. Most of the others I saw were just flat and very floppy and plain. I like that these look 3D. There is even enough body that I could bend the tips to look just like Yoda's.

    I wish there was information about how to assemble this. I am inexperienced with making hats like this and I don't know how to keep the ears from being so weighed down. I know there is probably a way of reinforcing them, but I don't know what that is.

I'm going to give it to my pregnant friend for their newborn. If I go up a hook size next time what size hook would you recommend I use?
