Fold in half the work and join with SL ST on the side.
🌸 EARS (make 2)
Count 36 HDC on the left upper row. From this point you have to work the ears.

Repeat the pattern from 1st to 15th row to make a second ear.
Reach the end of the row, making 6 SC.
Close with 1 SL ST in the next stitch, cut the yarn and hide it.
Now work 9 CHs + 1 Turning CH.
Follow the pattern from the 1st to 14th row to make the ear to fix on the ears made before, worked on the pencil case.
Once you reach the 14th rows, make 1 SL ST on the foundation CHs, to have the hook on the opposite side of the work and make the union of the ears with SC. (See Picture 3)
