Eventually, a hat to attach them to, but first Big Ears! They're done in the round using a magic loop. Ears and hat will both come out of the same 6 oz skein.
Yarn: Any ol' worsted thing, I used Loops & Threads Silky Soft in aran.
Needles: #7 (4.5 mm) circular needle (for magic loop) or dpn
Gauge: not critical, approximately what is says on the yarn
k=knit, p=purl, m1L=make one left, m1R=make one right, ssk=slip, slip, knit; k2tog=knit 2 together, w&t=wrap and turn
Note that I do not flip my work over, merely reverse direction, so all instructions are for the right side.

Cast off in p.
After doing short rows, always remember to pick up your wrap in the next row. Once the first is finished, it's time to do it all over again for a second. For the sake of symmetry, I did the second from left to right (the first was right to left). The same effect can be achieved by knitting along the back section of the work instead of the front. Since this is knitting the wrong side, k and p are swapped.
