Crochet hook in size H (5mm)
Yarn needle
Scissors

With your materials ready, follow these step-by-step instructions to crochet a baby ear-flap hat:

Step 1: Create the brim

With the main color yarn, make a slip knot and form a loop on the crochet hook. Then, single crochet (sc) 6 stitches into the loop. Join the stitches together with a slip stitch (sl st) to form a ring.

Round 2: Chain 2 (ch 2) and double crochet (dc) into the same stitch. *Ch 1, dc in each of the next 2 stitches. Repeat from * around the ring. Join with a sl st to the top of ch 2. (18 dc)

Round 3: Ch 2, dc in the same stitch. *Ch 1, dc in each of the next 3 stitches. Repeat from * around the ring. Join with a sl st to the top of ch 2. (24 dc)

Step 2: Work the ear flaps

Round 4: Ch 2, dc in each of the next 10 stitches. Chain 3 (ch 3), skip the next 3 stitches, and dc in each of the next 10 stitches. (18 dc, ch 3 space)

Round 5: Chain 2, dc in each of the next 8 stitches. Ch 3, sc in the next stitch. Ch 3, dc in each of the next 8 stitches. (16 dc, ch 3 space, sc, ch 3 space)

Round 6-9: Repeat Round 5.

Fasten off the yarn, leaving a tail for sewing.

Step 3: Create the ties

With the contrasting color yarn, make a slip knot and leave a 6-inch tail. Chain 20. Fasten off the yarn and weave the ends through the first few chains to secure.

Step 4: Sew the hat

Fold the ear flaps in half and sew the edges together. Then, sew the ties to the sides of the hat, just above the ear flaps.

Your baby ear-flap hat is now complete! It's a great way to keep your little one warm and cozy during the winter months.
