EARS (Make 2)

Rnd 1: Work 6sc into a magic ring (6)
Rnd 2: 2sc in each stitch around (12)
Rnd 3: sc in each stitch around (12)
Rnd 4: invdec around (6)
Rnd 5: invdec around (3)

ASSEMBLY
Attach the ears to either side of the top of the bauble and thread through a loop of yarn or ribbon to be able to hang.

MINNIE BAUBLE
The Minnie bauble is identical to the Plain Mickey Bauble, but with the addition of a red bow. Follow the same instructions and assembly as above for Mickey and then work the bow:
BOW
Using red yarn, working in rows. Chain 1 and turn at the end of each round.
Rnd 1: Ch19. Working into the 2nd ch from the hook, sc in each stitch along (18)
Rnd 2-3: sc in each stitch along (18)
Fasten off leaving an extra long tail.
Using the tail end yarn, seam the two short ends together and flip inside out to hide the seam inside. Do not fasten off the tail end yarn. Instead, flatten the now circular band with the seam centred and wrap the remaining yarn TIGHTLY around the centre. See the photos below for guidance.
This will create the bow shape. Once happy with the shape, fasten off the yarn end.




ASSEMBLY
Attach the ears to either side of the top of the bauble and thread through a loop of yarn or ribbon to be able to hang.
Attach the bow slightly off-centre to one side.
