Join the earflaps to the hat. To do this, use a yarn needle to sew the earflaps to the sides of the hat, starting at the top of the earflaps and working your way down.
Finish the hat. To do this, knit the stitches on the holder until you have 6 inches of fabric. Bind off all of the stitches on the holder. Weave in any loose ends.

Tips
To make a smaller or larger hat, simply adjust the number of stitches you cast on.
To make a longer or shorter earflap, simply knit more or fewer stitches before binding off.
You can embellish your hat with pom-poms, tassels, or other embellishments.
If you're not sure about your sizing, it's always a good idea to make a gauge swatch before you start knitting the hat.
