Tips

Here are a few tips for knitting earflap hats:
Use a worsted weight yarn that is not too bulky, so that the hat will be warm but not too heavy.
Choose two colors of yarn that complement each other.
Be sure to knit the earflaps long enough so that they can be folded down and cover your ears.
If you want to add a touch of flair to your hat, you can add pom-poms or tassels to the earflaps.
