This is how the ears look like before putting them on together

Place main colour ear on top of second colour ear, SC all round and leaving long tail to attached ears to the beanie. Here I sew them at the 3rd row of the beanie.

After attached the eyes, sew the buttons for the eyes and nose

Fore Lock/Mane

Cut yarn about 12 inch long for back mane, and 6 inch long for front and top mane. Simply create the mane until you happy with the outcome. Please beware, too much of the mane will result putting weight to the beanie. Off course we don’t want to give baby heavy clothing.

I start making a knot at the back at this position, then around the 2nd row and 1st row of the beanie.
1 strand 1 knot, 1 DC 2knot
Cut about 10 strands 6 inch long yarn to create this simple tassel.
Tight a knot at the center of the yarn
The tassel is to close up and to finish up the fore lock.
Insert from the beanie top and secure underneath.

Braided Earlaps Tails
Lastly, cut yarn about 1 meter long; 3 strands of each colour. You will have 9 strands for each side. Place it at the end of earlaps with the knot, braid, knot and trim.
