Leave a long tail (around 8"). You will use a tapestry needle to thread the tail through the last remaining stitches on your needles. After that remove the needles from the stitches and pull tightly to close the top hole. Lastly, hide the tail inside of the hat and weave it in.
NOTE: The ears are worked all in one piece and then folded in half.

F/O and draw through the remaining stitch. Weave in the ends.
Fold the ear in half along row 14. Using the 8mm crochet hook and black yarn, single crochet along the entire ear to close it off. F/O, weave in all ends.
Another method you can use if you're not comfortable crocheting, use a tapestry needle and the black yarn; whip stitch along the entire ear to close it off.
ASSEMBLE
I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn at the end of the finished pieces to sew them in place, but I personally like to use matching thread).
EARS... place them between rounds 21 and 35 or the position you like best. You'll want to fold the sides of the ears a little bit in to make them look pointier.
