If you like to freehand crochet projects, then you know that there are times when you need to write your own patterns for things. I ran into this recently when creating a solid pattern for my crochet plushies. The ears just wouldn’t come out right until I came up with this ear. Here’s how to crochet ears for your teddy bear plushies.
Ear Pattern for Crochet Plushies {Bears}
What you need:
Bernat Blanket Yarn for Main Color (MC)
Bernat Blanket Yarn for Accent Color (A)
K Crochet Hook
Instructions:
Both Pieces 1 and 2 are made exactly the same way. They are then stacked and crocheted together along the top arc of both pieces to create the ear.
For Piece 1 (use color A)
Five single crochet in a magic ring. Do not join to make a circle. Pull the yarn strand to close the middle stitch, and you’ll notice that you get a half circle. Fasten off and cut.
Piece 2 (use Main Color)
Five single crochet in a magic ring. Do not join to make a circle. Pull the yarn strand to close the middle stitch, and you’ll notice that you get a half circle. Fasten off.

Making the ear:
Stack Piece 1 on top of Piece 2 (fronts of both pieces facing you). Beginning at the right sides of the front of the stack, slip stitch the first stitches of both pieces together. Sc in the same stitch to create an increase. Inc to the end of the arc. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. (10)
Make a second ear. Sew ears onto the head.
