Easy Peasy Ear Flap Hat

 

 I found this unique Easy Peasy Ear Flap Hat by Julee Fort for free on Ravelry.

 

I wish I'd used colors that contrasted more so the variation in the pattern would have been more obvious. I really like the drop-down striped look of it. My blue and green version came out a bit small, too, so I'm going to try a J hook next time.

I used a size H hook, Red Heart Cool Stripes color for the main color and Caron Simply Soft Party in Teal Sparkle for the contrasting stripes.

I gave away a bunch of hats at my neighborhood chili cookoff. Unfortunately, I didn't get pictures of many people wearing them. These are some that were given away:

La Vie en Rose Earflap Hat

Interesting working up this La Vie en Rose Earflap Hat. I used this color changing

Red Heart Super Saver Stripes worsted weight yarn in Bright Stripe color 4970, using a G hook.

I made the modification of adding the earflaps at 19 sts away from back stitch. I also added hearts on the earflaps.
