So essentially, we start make 2 pieces per ear--the outside, and the inside.
The outside piece is
CO 20 Stitches
Knit across

Continue as such for about half an inch/6 or so rows; switch colours for another half an inch/6 or so rows. Switch back.
After another 4 rows, s1, k1, p2, ssk, knit to last 6 stitched, k2tog, p2, k2
