l
Hats with ear flaps are not just fashionable, the earflaps keep you warm and are very practical knit in a solid color, a Fair Isle (stranded) pattern or as an amusing animal hat. Earflap hat patterns are easy knitting projects for any time of year, so get ahead of the winter rush now. A free knitting pattern by Kirsten Kapur, designer of some extraordinary shawls, is available as a free pdf download and print out.


The hat is made with just one skein of Malabrigo chunky yarn or Araucania Nature Chunky on a US 9 (5.5mm) needle, knit in the round from the top down and finished off with a single crochet edge or blanket stitch trim. You can knit it in a single color or stranded, instructions included with chart. The gauge is 14.5 st = 4 in. Sizes sm, med, and lg.
