What Does the Fox Say

This is my "What does the Fox Say?" Hat-  I will update with a pattern shortly.  The trick on this hat is to use a bulky weight yarn for the ears that way they stand up instead of falling down. I used Blue Sky Alpaca Worsted Cotton for the body of the hat which has a really nice feel to it and holds up very well. 

The nose is done by using the same bulky weight yarn as the ears and is a magic ring of 6 HDCs but you do not join the ring. You go the reverse and do 2 HDCs in each stitch.

*** Special Note, when I do my hats I love the ridges so I always stitch in back loops only. Its also a lot faster and easier to count when you do increases in each round.
