Let's pause to add our safety eyes. I placed mine between the 11th and 12th rows, with 8 stitches in between.

We won't be adding any stuffing to the ears so they'll sit relatively flat.
To shape the ear, fold the bottom inward (sort of like a taco). Using a tapestry needle and the long tail, stitch the fold together.
