Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting out, this step-by-step video tutorial will guide you through the process of creating this charming accessory.

Before you begin, gather your materials. You'll need:* Worsted weight yarn in your desired color
* Knitting needles (size recommended on the yarn label)
* Darning needle or tapestry needle
* Scissors

Step 1: Cast On
Make a slip knot and place it on your left-hand needle.
Insert the right-hand needle into the loop from front to back, wrap the yarn clockwise around the needle, and pull the loop through.
Slide the new loop onto the left-hand needle and repeat step 2 until you have cast on the required number of stitches (usually around 90-100 stitches for an adult-sized hat).

Step 2: Knit in the Round
Join the cast-on stitches by slipping the first stitch onto the right-hand needle, then inserting the right-hand needle into the next stitch on the left-hand needle and knitting it.
Continue knitting all the stitches around, making sure to keep the work even and not twist it.
When you reach the end of the round, slip the last stitch onto the right-hand needle and continue knitting.

Step 3: Create the Hat Body
Knit 1 x 1 ribbing for 4-5 inches, alternating between one knit stitch and one purl stitch.
Switch to stockinette stitch (all knit stitches) and continue knitting until the hat reaches the desired length (usually around 8-10 inches for an adult-sized hat).

Step 4: Knit the Earflaps
Bind off the center 20-25 stitches for the top of the hat.
Pick up 20-25 stitches on each side of the bound-off stitches and knit in stockinette stitch for 4-5 inches.
Bind off all the stitches.
Repeat steps 4-5 for the other earflap.

Step 5: Sew the Earflaps
Fold each earflap in half lengthwise and stitch the raw edges together using a darning needle or tapestry needle.
Attach the earflaps to the hat by sewing them in place at the bottom of the bound-off stitches.

Step 6: Create the Ear Loops
Cast on 15-20 stitches.
Knit in stockinette stitch for 4-5 inches.
Bind off all the stitches.
Repeat steps 6-7 for the other ear loop.
Attach the ear loops to the hat by sewing them in place at the top of each earflap.

Step 7: Finish the Hat
Weave in any loose ends securely.
Block the hat lightly by gently stretching it and smoothing out any wrinkles.
Enjoy your cozy and adorable bear earflap hat!
