Pattern Conversion?

[fantomatiquevie]

I'm knitting the cute little guy for a friend:

And it's all pretty simple knitting, except for the ears. The ears are crocheted, which I don't know how to do. I was wondering if someone could either convert the pattern to a similar knit pattern, or look at the picture and figure out something close to me (I'm a beginner).



Rnd 1: single crochet 8 stitches into the center of the ring, join with a slip stitch.
Rnd 2: (1 single crochet, 2 single crochet into next stitch) repeat across, join with a slip stitch.
Rnd 3: (1 single crochet in the next 2 stitches, 2 single crochet in the next stitch) repeat across, join with a slip stitch.
Rnd 4: (1 single crochet in the next 3 stitches, 2 single crochet in the next stitch) repeat across, join with a slip stitch.
Rnd 5: (1 single crochet in the next 4 stitches, 2 single crochet in the next stitch) repeat across, join with a slip stitch.
Cut the yarn and pull through the last stitch. Fold the ear in half.
With Red and the crochet hook, single crochet the edges of the folded circle together. Leave the folded edge as is. Cut the yarn and pull through the remaining stitch.

(if it matters, I'm using a single color, not switching).

Thanks in advance for any help!!
