* Size 9 (5.5mm) circular knitting needles
* Size 9 (5.5mm) double-pointed knitting needles
* Cable needle
* Tapestry needle
* Scissors

Gauge:* 16 sts and 20 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Instructions:

1. Circular Portion:
Cast on 104 stitches with the contrast color yarn.
Join the stitches in the round and knit 3 inches in the round.

2. Divide the Stitches:
Place a marker on every 26 stitches for a total of 4 sections.
Knit 1 round.

3. Create the Ear Flaps:
On the next round, knit 13 stitches, place a cable needle in front of the next stitch, knit 1, transfer the stitch from the cable needle to the left-hand needle, and knit 1. Continue in this pattern for all 4 sections.
Knit 1 round.

4. Work the Ear Flaps in the Round:
Divide the stitches for the left ear flap onto double-pointed needles (26 stitches). Knit in the round for 8 rows. Transfer the stitches back to the circular needle, removing the marker.
Repeat for the right ear flap.

5. The Crown:
Knit 2 rounds.

6. Decrease Rounds:
Round 1: *k2tog, knit to the end of the round*.
Round 2: Knit.
Repeat these 2 rounds until 16 stitches remain.
Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail, and thread it through the remaining stitches. Pull tight to close the crown.

7. Weave in the Ends:
Use the tapestry needle to weave in the loose ends.

8. Lining:
With the light color yarn, cast on 104 stitches and join in the round.
Knit 3 inches in the round.
Decrease rounds as in Step 6.
Cut the yarn and weave in the ends.

9. Attach the Lining:
Turn the outer hat inside out. Insert the needles into the lining and knit together corresponding stitches on both the lining and the outer hat. Continue around the entire hat.
Cast off all stitches, cut the yarn, and weave in the ends.

10. Finish:
Fold the brim of the hat up and enjoy the cozy warmth of your new Korean ear-flap hat!
