Crochet Ear Flap Hat

I had a bit of wool left over from Little M's school cardigan so I knocked up a crochet hat. No pattern just making a head shape and calling my big girl every night for a try on.


She likes an earflap style hat and has had several over the years. 


To make the earflaps on this one, we chose heart shapes.



It is worked in double crochet, then half trebles (UK) and finished with the crab stitch or reverse double crochet. I just made it up as I went along.


She likes it. She wears it. The yarn has all gone.
 What more can you ask for?
Have a great week.

  6. I am not good at "making it up as I go". I have just finished a Ditto hat, free pattern on Ravelry, and want to cast another on straight away.
