A friend of mine did something similar with a hoodie for Burning Man (www.burningman.com) a few years ago. She took a pink hoodie with pockets, cut the pockets off, sewed the pocket holes up, and stitched the pockets to the hood to make floppy mouse-looking ears. It was so adorable! You could also replace the pockets with another fabric. The idea of using the pockets for the ears is so that the fabric would match perfectly.

I've been wanting to make a similar hoodie, but with bunny ears... any suggestions on how to make them?

Yeah, basically follow the same steps, but make a bunny shaped ear template and use white fabric instead of black.

I have a perfect sweater for this! it is my brother's old sweatshirt so it fits me but i don't really care about it that much. He might not like ears on his old sweatshirt too much, but who says that'll stop me?
