I looked all around and couldn't find a set of lion ears that were round like they should be. I also didn't want to make a full hat because I wanted these ears to be wearable in the summer or anytime she wants to pretend she's a lion. So these are designed to be on a headband, although you could attach them to a beanie if you want.
I made these for a kid's sized headband, but these ears could just as easily be attached to an adult-sized headband.
Materials Needed
- Worsted Weight Yarn
- Size 6 knitting needles
- Yarn Needle
- Headband
Make 1
This is designed to attach to an existing headband. I used a 3/4 inch wide headband. Adjust the band for a wider or narrower headband.
Cast on 12
Knit in Stockinette until band is just a little longer than headband.
Ears
Make 4
cast on 16
- Knit in stockinette for 12 rows or 2 inches

I personally did 2 pieces at a time for the mane even though I did 3 at a time for the tail.


I used the pattern to make my boyfriend a hat for his Halloween costume, turned out amazingly!!! Thank you so much for posting!! We are going to give it to his 9 year old sister after to use as dress up!!
