Baby Hat with Ear Flaps

There are lots of new babies all around me. So for Christmas I made my cousins son this very cute hat! I got the pattern from Neanners Shop.

I used Bernat Baby yarn because I love love love their yarn! I love how soft it is. Other baby yarns softness doesn't come close!

This hat is not just as baby hat, you can adjust it to any size you may need! However, this is the pattern for 3-6 Months.

Baby Hat with Ear Flaps
Ch 3, sl st in first ch to form ring.
Row 1: Ch 3, dc 11 in ring, sl st in third ch.
Row 2: Ch 3, dc in same st, dc twice in each dc around, join. {24}
Row 3: Ch 3, dc twice in next dc. (dc, 2dc) around, dc in last dc, join. {36}
Row 4: Ch 3, (dc twice in next dc, dc in next 2 dc) around, join. {48}
Row 5: Ch 3, dc in each dc around, join.
Row 6-8: Change color to make stripe. You can make one solid stripe or change colors like in picture. Ch 3, dc in each dc around, join.
Row 9: Change color back to main. Ch 3, dc in each dc around, join.

To make ear flaps:
Sl st in next 7 st. {You may also cut your yarn and join it in any st}
Row 1: Ch 3, dc in next 9 dc, turn.
Row 2: Ch 3, dc2tog, dc next 4 dc, dc2tog, dc in last st, turn.
Row 3: Ch 3, dc2tog, dc next 2 dc, dc2tog, dc in last st, turn.
Row 4: Ch 3, dc2tog twice, dc in last st, join and fasten.

Fold hat in half and sl st in dc directly across from last dc from the other earflap. Start again with Row 1.

After the second earflap, use any color and sc around the hat to add a border.

Add braided tassels. I cut 2 pieces of yarn of each color to a desired length and pulled it through one of the st at the bottom of the ear flap. Tied it off with a knot and then braided same colored pieces together. Tied the bottom off with a knot and cut the extra length.

Isn't it super cute!!!!
