Crochet the little ears for Yumi’s Night Guardian with a clear step-by-step tutorial that shows how the inner ear and outer ear are made, then joined together for a finished double-layered look. The ear pieces begin with a chain, slip stitches, and shaping stitches like half double crochet, double crochet, single crochet, and slip stitch, making this a helpful support video for following the written amigurumi pattern.

The tutorial explains how to crochet both layers the same way, place them together, and work around the edges so the ear has a neat inner color and outer color without complicated color changes. It also shows how to fasten off with a long tail for sewing the ear onto the dragon’s head and weaving in the ends. This is a useful crochet guide for plush yarn projects, dragon amigurumi, and ragdoll snuggler details.

Created for crocheters looking for a Yumi’s Night Guardian support video, crochet ear tutorial, amigurumi ear pattern, and plush dragon accessory details. A practical watch for anyone making handmade stuffed animals, learning how to crochet layered ears, or following a written crochet pattern with video support.
Transcript
00:18I'm going to show you how to crochet the little ears. For each ear, you're going to need two
00:23pieces, the inner ear and the outer ear. The inner and outer ear are crocheted the same way,
00:29but we're going to place them together and crochet around them to finish them off. So the inner ear
00:36piece I'm using here is pink. I'm going to show you how to crochet the outer ear. Remember, it's the
00:42same exact instructions. So start with your inner ear color and then you're going to move on to your
00:49outer ear color for this. For these ear pieces, you're going to start off with eight chains.
00:56So here's my slip knot to begin my chain. And then it's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
01:08and eight. Then you're going to go into that second chain from your hook and slip stitch in that one,
01:16like so. Then you're going to slip stitch in each of the next six chains. One, two, three, four,
01:36five, and six. After you do that, you're at the end of the chain. You should have seven stitches on
01:45one
01:45side from the slip stitches. And we're going to work on the other side of the chain here where we
01:52have
01:53seven stitches as well. So working into the other side, I'm going to start off with a half double crochet.
02:08Then we're going to double crochet two times. So that's one double crochet,
02:17two double crochets. Then you're going to do two half double crochets. One and two.
02:32A single crochet. And a slip stitch in the last stitch. Finally finish off with one chain. Now we're
02:45going to go ahead and work on the other side. So going into that other side of the chain,
02:51we're going to slip stitch, then single crochet, half double crochet, twice. So that's one half double
03:01crochet, two half double crochets, then two double crochets, one double crochet, two double crochets.
03:14Then I'm going to half double crochet in the last stitch, like so. And when you finish the inner ear
03:24piece using the inner ear color, you're going to fasten off. But do not fasten off for the outer ear.
03:30What you'll be doing now is to put the inner ear and the outer ear together. And we're going to
03:37crochet
03:38crochet around the two pieces. So going here, I'm going to insert my hook into the first stitch.
03:51Here and I want to make sure I go into the same stitch on the outer ear.
04:03All right, here's that same area. And I'm going to single crochet together like so.
04:15Then going into that next stitch, remember to go through both layers. So I'm working into the inner
04:23and outer layers or inner and outer ears together.
04:46When you get to the tip, just make a chain as well, and then move on to the next stitch
04:53pairs.
05:26And this concludes the next stitch.
05:27the ear as you can see it's now double layered oops sorry some of that peeked
05:34through it's now double layered one side with the outer ear color and the other
05:40side with the inner ear color it's a really nice way to add some detail to
05:46your piece without needing to change colors really because there are two
05:53separate pieces crocheted together now you'll just fasten off with a long tail
05:59for sewing this ear to the dragon's head later and you're going to weave in these
06:04ends
