help with a knitting pattern

[~TT40~]

ahoy!

So I am trying to knit Spock a cute little hat thinking it would be nice to take Spock home in it =). But I'm so lost and confused. I'm sure I followed the pattern 100% but I can not work out how it actually works...

so it is the 'hat with ears' in 'Lincraft Giggles Baby' (if anyone happens to have the pattern). if not, I took a photo =) sorry if its really hard to read, cause it is a photo of the page...

this is what I got at the end...
(ok it wont let me attach another photo.. so I'll do it in a reply)

so, I don't understand how sewing the ends together would work...because then the ears would be sewn together...not on opp sides... I can understand if I made a 2nd one to match it and then sewed it together it would work...but no where does it say make 2, and then that would be MASSIVE for a newborn...

I just don't understand.. did I mess up, or is the pattern wrong??

TIA!!
