How to Make a DIY Kids‘ Earflap Hat57

As the weather starts to cool down, it's important to keep your little ones warm and cozy. One way to do this is to make them a DIY earflap hat. This fun and easy project is perfect for beginners, and it's a great way to use up any leftover yarn you have lying around. Here's what you'll need to get started:
1 skein of worsted weight yarn
1 pair of size 8 (5mm) knitting needles
1 pair of scissors
1 tapestry needle
1 button (optional)

Once you have all of your materials, you're ready to start knitting. Here are the step-by-step instructions:
Cast on 80 stitches.
Knit every row for 4 inches (10 cm).
Divide the stitches in half, 40 stitches on each side.
Knit the first 40 stitches.
Bind off the next 8 stitches.
Knit the remaining 24 stitches.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 on the other side of the hat.
You should now have 32 stitches remaining on the needle.
Knit every row for 1 inch (2.5 cm).
Bind off all of the stitches.
Fold the hat in half and sew the sides together.
Fold the ear flaps down and sew them in place.
If desired, sew a button on the top of the hat for decoration.

Your DIY kids' earflap hat is now complete! It's a great way to keep your little one warm and stylish during the cold weather months. Here are some additional tips for making your hat:
If you want a larger or smaller hat, simply adjust the number of stitches you cast on.
You can use any type of worsted weight yarn you like. I used a soft, bulky yarn for this hat.
Be sure to wash and dry your hat before wearing it for the first time. This will help to prevent the hat from stretching out of shape.

I hope you enjoy this fun and easy DIY project. Happy crafting!
