Earflaps:

Once you have reached the desired length for the crown, divide the stitches into 5 equal sections. Place a stitch marker after each section.
Work in the round on the first section (front flap). Ch 1, turn, sc into the next stitch, *ch 1, skip the next stitch, sc into the next stitch*, rep until the end of the row. Turn and rep.
Continue working on the front flap until it measures approximately 9-10 inches. Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the other 4 sections (back flap and 2 side flaps).

Braids:

For each of the 5 earflaps, braid the stitches together into a tight braid. Use the yarn tail to secure the end of the braid.
Sew the braids onto the crown, starting from the center of the front flap. Braid the end of the yarn tail into the last few stitches for a secure hold.

Finishing:

Weave in any loose ends.
