Ears (Knit in gray color 029) x 2

This piece will be worked flat and along the sides of the chain; this means that
we will start by inserting the hook through the chains.
Row 1: Chain 7 + 1 turning chain (8 ch.)
Starting from the second chain from the hook
Row 2: 6 sc, one per chain + [4 sc], this is the corner + 6 sc, inserting the hook into
the stitch we worked previously as if it were a mirror image.
Work a turning chain and turn your work.
Row 3: 4 sc + 2 hdc + 4 dc + 2 hdc + 4 sc + 1 sl st.
Fasten off, weave in ends, and leave a long tail to sew to the base of the coin purse.

2. Sew the ears centered, on one side of the base with a separation of 6 sts.
3. Embroider the eyes in black between rounds 13 and 15 with a separation of 8 sts.
