Join CC at any st along the edging with sl st and work one round of sc around the edge, going around the earflaps. Fasten off.

Ties:

With CC, loop yarn into approximately 18-inch long loops as shown in the picture.

Cut one side of the loop, so the lengths of yarn are still joined together on the other side.

Using a crochet hook, pull the folded side of the yarn through the center stitch at the bottom of the earflap, making a loop. Pull the free ends of the yarn through this loop and pull tight.

Divide yarn in to three parts, plaint or braid to the end, and tie a knot to finish up. One tie is made.

Repeat on the other earflap to make second tie.
