I love hoodies with ears. Adding ears to this baby hoodie took about two minutes, including cutting the ears out of felt. Now that I know how easy it is, all the hoodies in the house might suddenly sprout ears!
Materials:
- a hoodie
- felt (or wool felt)
- pins
- sewing machine or needle/thread
To make:
Cut 2 ears out of felt. (Note: if you want these hoodies to really hold up, use wool felt instead.) Make them wider than you want them to be when they are finished. Fold over in the center, as shown.
Pin to hood. I pinned them so that the seam on the hoodie would act as a guide for where I would sew across the ears.
Sew across the ears, as shown. Use the same color of thread as the ears if you have it. You can use a sewing machine or sew by hand.
Flip the ears up. Put the hoodie on your kiddie. Take pictures because they’re 10% cuter now. Bribe kids with candy when they won’t pose for you.
Post about it on your blog even though the candy bribe didn’t work.

too cute. I was a little envious last year when my friend's daughter had a cute beared sweater from baby gap, they didn't have my daughters size. It never occured to me to make my own.
I'm so adding these to every hoodie in the house, even mine!
