Fold up the brim at the lower edge of the hat. This will create the earflaps.
Sew the earflaps together, leaving a small opening for turning them inside out.
Turn the earflaps right side out and stuff them lightly with cotton or batting.

Finishing

Sew the remaining opening in the earflaps closed.
Attach a faux fur pom-pom to the top of the hat, if desired.
Weave in any loose ends.
