Fasten off - Make second ear by attaching yarn at other end of the piece and repeating the above process.

Assembly

1. Place eyes on one of the pieces. I guesstimated the placement, so go with what is aesthetically pleasing to you.
2. Starting at inner corner of one ear, begin to single crochet the two pieces together, right side out. Once you have gotten to the inner corner of the second ear, stop and insert pillow form.
3. Stuff ears.
4. Single crochet up the remaining stitches, fasten off, and use a tapestry needle to sew in your ends. 
5. DONE!
