Bunny Hat just in time for Easter!
A friend of mine recently purchased a baby's hat for a photo shoot, but the hat wasn't working out so she asked me if I could make one. I thought I'd give it a shot and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out!
Luckily, being a yarn hoarder, I had some white and gray yarn on hand. The white yarn is Lion Brand Yarn - Vanna's Choice. The gray yarn is Lion Brand Yarn - Heartland and it's called Mount Rainier.
The ears have a front and back to help make them stiff with the added benefit of making it look good from the front or the back.
This hat takes very little time to make and is great for beginners.
The model (I'm crocheting Gerald!) has approximately a 14 inch head. The hat will also stretch if a little more room is needed.

1 skein Lion Brand Yarn's Vanna's Choice Yarn - White

Whip stitch 2 of these together (through 1 loop on each), back to back, so the right side is facing out on each side. Attach to the hat on the 2nd and 3rd rows, on each side. (To make them stand, it's best to attach on 1 side at a time.)
