Turn the work upside down through this hole and sew the remaining part by hand using the invisible stitch. See this very clear explanation if you do not know this stitch already.

Assembly

You are now ready to assemble the ears and the ring. To do so, you just need to fold the fabric piece in two.

Place the loop over one side of the ring. Fold the ears around the ring and insert them between the ring and the fabric to create a knot.Make knot to form the ears around ring
