Braided strings:

Take six pieces of yarn together. Put hook through loop on the tip of the earflap, from the inside out. Pull a loop of the yarns through, and pull the tail end through the loop. With three groups of four strands of yarn, braid. When the braid is about 4 in long (or desired length,) tie a knot at the end, trim fringe to desired length. Repeat for second earflap.
I used this easy flower:
Magic Ring, 5 times [ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, sc] Pull ring tight, join to first ch, finish off. Leave ends free to tie on to hat. Weave in or leave strings tied in a bow so you can switch it out with something else.

ok Alli, Help! I have a friend at work that wants one of these. How can I adjust the pattern to fit an adult? I know it is all going to go off how big the magic ring is and how many dc to put in each first row of dc but I just can't the amounts just right.
ReplyDeleteActually, you can still just start with 10 dc. Switch to the newborn pattern and go from there, adding increase rounds using the information from the "size information" link at the top of the blog. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for this pattern. I am just beginning to crochet and your instructions were very easy to follow. I do have a question....How do I make the tassles that hang from the earflaps??
ReplyDeleteSorry about that, Charity! Updated the pattern for you.
ReplyDeleteAlli! I absolutely love your blog. Thank you for the time you put into it and your willingness to share.
ReplyDeleteIf I wanted just a beanie do I add a row or just not add the straps?
ReplyDeleteJust don't add the straps.
ReplyDeleteI meant flaps...I had a duh moment but thank you very much I hope to make a few and donate them.
ReplyDeleteBuen día. Me gusta mucho su blog. PLEASSE TRADUCTOR.

Just used this pattern as a base for a really cute bear hat. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and designs :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is such an adorable hat! What is the circumference for the preemie hat? I want to make one for a doll:) thanks!
ReplyDeleteCan you give me the measurements, please?
ReplyDeleteAlli, on the Preemie version of this, I have encountered what I think might be either a mistake or a typo. On round 4, you say 2 dc in next stitch and then dc in the next 7. To make this to 35, I think you will find it is 2 dc in next stitch and then dc in next 5. Am I correct.
ReplyDeleteRegards
Barbara
I had the same problem on round 4 as well.
ReplyDeleteYes, round 4 should be 2dc then 1dc in the next five stitches, not seven.
