Crochet Hat with Ear Flaps
written by threadslinger
I wanted a new crocheted hat that would be very distinctive when I hit the slopes this season (so I can’t get lost) and I came up with the most girly hat known to humankind. I posted a tutorial here about a year ago (can’t believe we have been around that long!) that is a good tutorial for those of you who (like myself) cannot read crochet patterns. I will do a quick write up of how to do the ear flaps as well.
Materials needed
2 kinds of yarn
large crochet hook
Directions
1. Follow the steps outlined in the previous post until you get to the end.
2. Switch the color of your yarn and do 3 more rows.
3. Start on the side of the hat and go about 15 stitches. Double back and continue down for 2 more rows. The drop a 2 stitches each additional row until there is no more and it turns to a point. Then to a crochet chain. If you want you can do a little yarn poof ball at the end but I figured my hat was girly enough. And you are done and have a very warm, awesome hat.
