Baby/Kids’ Earflap Hat
March 20, 2007 in knitting
Of all of the things I’ve ever made, the project that gets the most compliments,
hands down, are the earflap hats that I knit for my daughters. Everywhere we go
it seems, people rave about how cute they are. I’ve also noticed that I get a ton
of blog traffic from people who are looking for a baby/kids’ earflap hat pattern. It
didn’t take much dinking to convert the adult pattern I use to kids’ sizes, in fact
I’ve done it for a lot of people, I’d just never written it all up.
What follows is a version for DK weight yarn — I’ll eventually get a worsted
version up too.

Size: Newborn (Infant, Li’l Kid)
(These are roughly 14″, 16″, and 18″ around, for heads a wee bit larger than
those measurements.)
Supplies:
about 50g of DK weight yarn (I used KnitPicks Merino Style — less than one
skein for the newborn size — but you can use any yarn that knits to gauge.
RYC Cashsoft DK would be perfect!)

List | Random
at least three DPNs and a matching 16″ circular needle (I used US6, but
again, you can use whatever knits to gauge)
one stitch marker
Gauge: 19 sts = 4″ in stockinette stitch (5 sts/inch is probably close enough!)

Ear Flaps

Continue knitting all rounds until hat measures 3″ (3.5″, 4″) from the cast-on
row. (Rows 4-12 would be a great place for colorwork!) Then begin the decreases
as follows, switching to DPNs or two circs (video here) when the diameter of the
hat is too small for your circular needle:
(Decrease) Row 1: *K8 (9, 10), K2tog*
Row 2: K all sts
(Decrease) row 3: *K7 (8, 9), K2tog*
Row 4: K all sts
(Decrease) row 5: *K6 (7, 8), K2tog*
Row 6: K all sts
Decrease in this manner until there are 35 sts on the needles.
Then decrease in the same manner, omitting the “k all sts” rows, until there are 7
sts remaining.
Pull yarn through the last 7 sts with a tapestry needle, pull through to inside and
weave in end.
Finishing
Weave in all ends. (I like to leave the tails where I ended the earflaps long so
that I can use them to tighten up of otherwise correct anything that looks wonky
around the earflap join area.)
There are a few ways you can add straps — pick up 3-4 sts and knit in garter
stitch or seed stitch until desired length. OR pick up 3-4 stitches and knit i-cord
until desired length. OR, thread through three long pieces of yarn and braid the
double-strands until desired length, then tie off and trim.
Block and lay flat to dry.

I’ve been making hats similar to yours for
years, out of worsted weight in a toddler
size. My earflaps start with 3 sts and work
up to 17, and the result is a little less like a chullo. I tend to bore easily, so my
hats often have colorwork or other patterning, and sometimes I make bell tassels
(crocheted, with little jingle bells encased to prevent unintentional swallowing). I
use a single crochet to finish the edge around the hat, then a second row with
crochet chain straps. If I can find one (they tend to leave with kidlets), I’ll send
you a photo.

Instead of using dpn’s, you could use one
circ and use the ‘magic loop’ method.
Then you could use the one circ for the
entire thing!:-) Fiber Trends has a great little booklet giving directions on using
the magic loop. I love it for socks. For a new knitter, its easier for me, and … NO

Using the instructions for the smallest size
and a yarn that knits 4 sts/inch should
yield a hat that’s about 17″ — in theory!
If your son has a 18″ head then that should be about right.

Then we, in Upstate, consider putting on a hat.

Sasha, personally I’d rather take a chance
and err on the side of being too big and
use the little kid size. Their head size
growth really slows down in the toddler years, so even if it’s a tad roomy to start
with, they’ll get a ton of use out of it going forward. I made my kids’ hats when

Hi Julie – I’m a very new knitter – like I
taught myself about a month ago.
I love this hat and am trying to follow your pattern. This will obviously be a
novice question…
For the start of the ear flaps, you knit alternating rows of pearl and knit stitches
(until you get to 15). Then after that the pattern says to “knit straight”. I’m
assuming that means knit each row, and not alternating knit and pearl rows.
However, when I do that the rows start to look different.
I have the same problem when I start knitting in the round on the circular
needle. Are you supposed to knit the rows only and not alternate knit and pearl?
Because when I do that my rows don’t look like your pattern.
The picture looks like it alternates, but the pattern doesn’t seem to say that.
Thanks!

I am also a new knitter trying out this
pattern, and I noticed the same thing as
Bonnie (in the comment above). Now that
I’ve already knit the full row, it doesn’t look as if it matches.

I e-mailed Bonnie directly with my answer
(oops! should have posted it here
earlier!):
When you’re knitting flat, you knit one row then purl one row (stockinette stitch).
When you join into the round, then you knit every round. “Knit straight” refers to
the shaping…i.e. continue knitting without increasing or decreasing the number of
stitches you have on the needles.
Hope that helps!

HI, I really love the look of the pattern but
would like to do it in a worsted yarn. As I
am a novice I have no idea how to change
a pattern for different yarns. Have you got round to doing a worsted weight
pattern yet ? and if not how can I change this pattern accordingly ?

Heather, I usually make my straps about
6 inches long. My kids don’t tie them
though…if you think the wearer will tie
them, I’d make them a few inches longer.
Lisa, that’s what I would do…stick with US10s and the smallest numbers…that
should yield a hat that’s 17.5″ around, which IMHo is a good amount of negative
ease for a hat. You’ll want to start the decreases closer to 4″, though, as per the
instructions for the largest size.

Hi Julie,
Thanks for sharing this cute pattern. I am
a beginner knitter and I just started on
the earflaps tonight. I have a question: after I get to 15 stitches, you say “knit
straight.” Does this mean you knit every row so you end up with a garter stitch?
Or do you knit one row, purl one row, so you end up with a stockinette stitch?
The picture looks like stockinette stich. Please help…I am confused! Thanks so
much!

Dianne, by “knit straight” I mean no

rows and purling the wrong-side rows.

Great! Thank you. One more question: on
the purl rows, should I still knit the first
stitch, then purl the rest of the row and
knit the last stitch? Thanks for your help – I am truly a beginner!

Great Pattern. Simple yet very elegant

pattern with simple increases and
decreases. I love it. Thank You, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Love the pattern, but I did have some
trouble I hope you can advise me on.
When I connected the earbobs to the hat, I had the RS of the ears facing me like
in the video. Sadly, I didn’t TURN the project to cast on from the other side, and
as I cast on additional stitches, added the 2nd earbob, and joined and knitted in
the round, I found my RS of the earbobs and the RS of the hat didn’t match — in
other words, RS of ears were facing out, RS of hat was facing in. UGH!

Can you tell me if me not turning the project was the cause of this? Because in
my head, that shouldn’t have made a difference.
I’m getting ready to start a
new set of earbobs to try again, and would love to find out if it was just my lack
of turning that caused my woes.

I knit two earflap hats for my two-year old
grandson in the largest size which are
beautiful. Everyone comments on them. I
have one suggestion, though. I found that the flaps are a bit far forward and the
hat might fit better if a few stitches Maybe six or so) were removed from the
back of the hat and added to the front since there is more head circumference in
front of the ears than behind.

stitches and knit i-cord until desired length”). If this is what’s shown in your

Will still try it out though and hopefully make them big enough to fit my boys

them big enough! I’ll also have a newborn by then though so however it turns
out it fit at least one of them!!

@kelly…yes, if you’re a fan of DPNs, go ahead and knit the whole thing on
them….there’s no reason not to. I’m not a fan! I find knitting on 1 or 2 circs
much less cumbersome.

Mel, yes, that was the size — in my

wore them for three winters.

I used Lana Merino (variegated).
Rather than lay flat to dry, I use a

over the balloon and continue to blow the balloon until the circumference is
what you want.

Hi,
I am knitting your hat with earflaps, large
infant size. I have just finished adding the
earflaps and am counting my stitches but something doesn’t add up. I was
wondering if you could clarify. On the pattern, it says I should have 84 stitches
on my needles, but if I do the math (and count my stitches) it should add up to
88. It’s 14 stitches cast on + 15 stitches for earflap 1 + another 30 stitches cast
on + 15 stitches from earflap 2 + the last 14 stitches cast on
(14+15+30+15+14= 88).
Thanks for helping me out with this. Can’t wait to finish the hat for my daughter!

made and hope you can help me. Since I am using worsted/medium yarn and
size 7 needles, I changed the ear flaps so they were all garter stitch – no rolling!
Then I cast on as instructed and started knitting in a K2 P2 rib. I am moving
along nicely but realize I have 86 stitches on my needle and not 84! I realized
that the back of the hat would have one wider rib (k4), but it looked cute so I
just kept on knitting. What could I have been counting from the start! ARGH!!!
Now that I have gone through the trouble of changing the pattern but messing
up the number of sts, can you help me calculate the decrease or should I be ok
following what you instructed? Gosh I am so sorry! If this turns out, I will post
the picture!

Lyn, the round before you start the
decreases, just decrease two stitches
(wherever!). Then you’ll have a multiple of
12 stitches, and can start the decreases as written (*K10, K2tog* and so on).

In printing this pattern, the comments
should be left out, no one needs them.
Make the pattern a printable one. This
would help save on ink and paper. Thank you. Otherwise I like the hat.

When I just want the pattern and not
comments I write it out rather than
squawk at someone who is kind enough to
share…
Thanks so much for providing the pattern, my daughter just asked today if I
would make up a hat with earflaps my my favorite grandchild under a year old. I
am sooo happy to find this.

Hi! So….for the last two days I’ve
attempted to knit this hat – it’s been a
while since I’ve knitted – I’m on the
beginner + side of things – the pattern is awesome, totally understandable, and
awesome with the you tube video – however, I’ve been having the same problem
as two of the commenters above but saw no response posted: I keep ending up
with my ear flaps right side out and the hat part wrong side out (the v’s facing
in) – if that makes sense. I’ll admit to knitting the flaps on regular needles (didn’t
have that particular size DP’s) but none of this really should have made a

difference. When casting on and knitting the flaps to the circular – the flaps faced
right side out, everything seemed perfect except the hat part. Perhaps the
response is too lengthy or difficult to explain here – if so, I would at least like to
thank you for the pattern and your care of answering questions and being so
helpful!!

Janet – I am so thrilled with your pattern!
Just this week I received an email from
the recipient with a picture of her baby
wearing the cute hat I knit for her! How could anyone be happier? I have really
become an avid beginning knitter (attending a local class at Ben Franklin once a
month since only February of this year) and before that just scarves! I had to
redo the ear flaps a couple of times and restart the hat on the circular needles
once when I had put my knitting down and when I took it up again I went in the
wrong direction (UGH!) BUT, I calmly reread your directions, unraveled the cast
on on the circular needle and now I know that there is this darling baby girl in
Boston wearing my/your hat! Thanks, again.

Hi Julie,
I am also a beginner. I somehow ended
up with 82 stitches on my yarn instead of
84. I am also confused about how to do the decreases. Are you supposed k10 k2t
and then repeat this pattern until the end of the line or as long as it allows?

Julie, this hat is beautiful!
Making it with Patons’ Astra, a DK yarn,
on size 8. It looks awesome for my 3 year
old granddaughter. No problems to report!!!
But I do have one…my son and his wife have asked me to make them both the
same hat. My son’s head is 22.5 inches, my DIL’s head is barely 21 inches and to
make it even more of a challenge, the yarn they choose is a bulky weight fleece.
I have just one word for you…HELP!!!
Thanks again for this lovely pattern and I am sorry to throw such a curve at you.
