Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Create the Base Hat
Make a slipknot and insert the hook into it.
Yarn over (YO) and pull through the loop on the hook. You now have 2 loops on the hook.
Repeat Step 2 four more times, resulting in 6 loops on the hook.
Close the ring by YO and pulling through all 6 loops on the hook.
Chain 2 and work a half double crochet (hdc) into the next stitch. Continue hdc around, working 2 hdc into each stitch.
Continue crocheting in the round, increasing stitches in each round until the hat reaches the desired circumference.

Step 2: Create the Earflaps
Chain 5 and turn.
Hdc in each chain across. Chain 2 and turn.
Hdc in each stitch across. Repeat Rows 2-3 until the earflap reaches the desired length.

Step 3: Attach the Earflaps
Fold the hat in half and determine the center point.
Fold the earflap in half and place the raw edges at the center point. Pin in place.
Sew the earflap to the hat securely.
Repeat Step 2-3 for the other earflap.

Step 4: Create the Ties
Chain 40.
Slip stitch back into the second chain from the hook.
Continue slip stitching along the chain to the end.

Step 5: Attach the Ties
Fold the tie in half and secure it to the hat, approximately 2 inches from the front edge.
Sew the tie securely in place.
Repeat Step 2 for the other tie.

Congratulations! You have now completed your crocheted baby winter earflap hat.
