Cut yarn balls from work, leaving a 2' tail
Use yarn needle to remove the 15 loops from knitting needle
Pull tightly and sew sides of hat together.
Ears
Using US 6 needles gives the ears a nice rigidity.

Row 1 & 2 K12
Row 3 & 4 increase 1 stitch in middle
(Knit into front & back of loop)
Row 5-10 K14

Every even row until 24th row, just knit
Row 33 K2 K2tog
Use yarn needle to remobe last two stitches and pull through half ear, hiding yarn, cut. Sew each ear to sides of hat with other yarn tail.
That's it! Wear it with galactic pride, and may the Force be with you.
There are a lot of expressions that we hear now and then; most we think we know the origin of, some we don't. For the most part we just don't ponder the origin of commonplace expressions because they are... common. The first thing I discovered when beginning to read this little gem of a book, was not only hadn't I considered where many common sayings come from, but my preconceived idea of their origin was actually wrong! Kinda embarrassing, but guessing I may not be alone in this. I thought it would be of value then to share some tidbits from this book. Audio format is nice, as you can multitask while listening to this. This is my first attempt at recording reading a book, so any constructive criticism is welcome!
