​Crochet Mickey Mouse/Minnie Mouse Ears

My daughter and I are fans of Mickey and Minnie.

Here is what I created to us.

You’ll need:

headband with teeth

worsted weight yarn in black and red

3.5 mm crochet hook

Instructions

Ears (make 4)

R1: 6 sc in Magic Ring (6 sts)

R2: 2 sc in each sc around (12 sts)

R3: *Sc 1, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 6 times (18 sts)

R4: *Sc 2, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 6 times (24 sts)

R5: *Sc 3, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 6 times (30 sts)

R6: *Sc 4, 2 sc in next sc*, rep 6 times (36 sts)

R7: Sc 36

Finish off and leave long end for sewing.

I sewed two ears together (right sides facing outwards) to give the ears more thickness so they would not flop down or be as flimsy.  I sewed the two circles together by leaving the braided edges visible

Bow

Ch 11

R1: Starting in second chain from hook, Sc 10

R2-4: Ch 1.  Turn.  Sc 10

From there, single crochet up the right side of the resulting rectangle, across the top, down the left side and across the bottom, doing three single crochets in each corner.  Scrunch the bow slightly and wrap yarn around the center.  Tie a couple knots and attach the bow to one of the ears on the headband.
