Remove the yarn but leave a longer yarn end to use for sewing the ears on where you want them on the lid. Bend the bottom of the ears so they are slightly C-shaped when you sew them on.

If you want, you can embroider the eyes and snout on the basket to give it that little extra detail. You can use any leftover yarn for this.
