Hey craft-lovahs!

I learned to crochet last week and I can't stop! I made a giant scarf for myself, and on Tuesday I figured out how to make beanies (I'll post pictures soon). I'm making a whole bunch for my friends for x-mas, but the tops of the beanies look a little sad. This is where you talented kids come in.

How would I go about making a poof ball for the top? I'm pretty sure theres a gadget involved, and if so where would I get one for really really cheap?

I also love those kitty/bear ears. I've tried to crochet them, but my hook is big and they look silly, and I don't really want to go buy a whole new hook just for making ears. Would it work to sew some ears from a couple layers of those 22 cent felt sheets at Wal Mart and stitch them on?

Thanks in advance!
