Step-by-Step Instructions:1. Create a magic circle: Begin by making a magic circle with your yarn. This will form the center of your hat.

5. Earflap 1: Chain 2 and dc in the next 13 stitches. Slip stitch to the next stitch. Chain 1. Turn.
6. Row 2-7 of Earflap 1: Chain 2 and dc in each stitch across. Slip stitch to the next stitch. Chain 1. Turn.
7. Earflap 2: Repeat steps 5-6 for the second earflap.
8. Hat top: Join the two earflaps with a slip stitch. Chain 2 and dc in each stitch around both earflaps and the hat. Join with a slip stitch to the first dc.
9. Round 2 of Hat Top: Chain 2 and dc in each dc around. Join with a slip stitch to the first dc.
10. Decrease Rounds: Repeat Round 2 of the hat top, decreasing by 12 dc every other round until there are only 6 dc remaining.
11. Finish: Cut the yarn and pull it through the last 6 dc. Tighten to close the hole.
12. Weave in Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in any loose ends.

Tips and Tricks:* For a warmer hat, use a thicker yarn.
* For a softer hat, use a finer yarn.
* You can adjust the size of the hat by increasing or decreasing the number of stitches in each round.
* To add a pom-pom to the top of the hat, make a small ball of yarn and tie it around the top of the hat.
With a little practice, you'll be able to crochet baby earflap hats in no time! They make wonderful gifts and are perfect for keeping your little ones cozy and warm all winter long.
