Knitted Earflap Hat Instructions

    Ear Flaps

    • 1). Cast on three stitches. Work in knit one, purl one rib until it reaches 8 inches. End on a wrong side row.

    • 2). Begin increase.

      Row one (right side) - knit one, (knit one, yarn over, knit one) into next stitch, knit one -- you will have five stitches.

      Purl row two and all wrong side rows.

      Row three - knit two, (knit one, yarn over, knit one) into next stitch, knit to end -- you will have seven stitches.

      Continue as established, increasing two stitches in center stitch of every right side row until there are 23 stitches.

    • 3). End with a wrong side row. Slip the stitches onto a stitch holder. Repeat for the second ear flap, but don't put stitches on holder.

    • 1). Remain on same needle as your second earflap - cast on eight stitches.

      On the next row, knit across the stitches you just cast-on, the 23 earflap stitches, cast on 19 additional stitches, the 23 earflap stitches from the holder, and cast on eight stitches -- you will now have 81 stitches.

    • 2). Work in stockinette stitch until hat is 5 1/2 inches from the joining row. End in a right side row.

    • 3). Purl the next row, decrease one time (by knitting two together) half way through the row -- leaving 80 stitches.

    • 2). Purl across on the second row, and every wrong side row.

    • 3). Continue shaping as follows:

      Row three, knit five, knit two together across - you will have 60 stitches.

      Row five, knit four, knit two together across -- 50 stitches will be left.

      Row seven, knit three, knit two together across -- 40 will remain.

      Row nine, knit two, knit two together across -- you will have 30 stitches.

      Row 11, knit one, knit two together across -- 20 stitches remain.
