Floppy Bunny Ears Beanie Free Crochet Pattern

I’ve just finished working on an Easter Bunny Sweater for a friend. Since it involved making giant rabbit ears I thought they would also look great on a hat.

So, here is my pattern for an adult size floppy bunny ears beanie. The beanie is very simple so if you want to make it in a smaller size just skip one or two of the last increase rounds before working down the sides of the hat.

  2. On the brim part of the bunny ear beanie, could you clarify it for me? I’m having a hard time understanding it when you get to the star/astrix
