I've fallen in love with this pattern. I rarely make the same thing twice, but I've made about eight of these hats, to date. They've become my favorite way to use up all of my old Red Heart yarn; it gives a nice, stiff structure for the peak of the hat. I never do the loop at the top that the pattern shows. I think it looks goofy.
I found this Earflap Hat pattern on Lion Brand's website, so you won't be able to view it unless you are signed up to the Lion Brand site.

I call the blue one Princess Habba (after a Swedish toy that my friend's son gummed to death as a baby) and I think I just might keep it for myself. I got the flower from 10 Petal Popcorn Flower on The Laughing Willow blog, but I stopped after row 4; the popcorn row.

I finished the ear flaps with either a braid of 20 to 30 yarn strands or a simple icord.
The dogs are always ready to help.
I decorated the maroon hat with sage green yarn remnant and a pink and white flower I made up by either dc or sc into a loop.
