How to Knit a Korean-Style Tassel Earflap Hat384

The Korean-style tassel earflap hat is a stylish and cozy accessory that's perfect for keeping your head and ears warm during the winter months. It's also relatively easy to knit, making it a great project for beginners.

To knit a Korean-style tassel earflap hat, you will need the following materials:*
Worsted weight yarn in two colors (one for the main hat and one for the tassels)
Size 8 (5mm) knitting needles
Tapestry needle
Scissors

Once you have gathered your materials, you can begin knitting the hat.

The Main Hat
Using the main color yarn, cast on 100 stitches.
Knit in garter stitch (knit every row) for 6 inches.
Start decreasing the stitches at the end of every other row.
Decrease until you have 10 stitches remaining.
Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through the remaining stitches and pull tight to cinch the top of the hat.

The Earflaps
Using the main color yarn, cast on 20 stitches.
Knit in garter stitch for 6 inches.
Bind off all the stitches.
Repeat steps 1-3 to make the second earflap.
Sew the earflaps to the sides of the hat.

The Tassels
Using the tassel yarn, cut a piece of yarn that is 12 inches long.
Fold the yarn in half and make a loop.
Thread the loop onto the Tapestry needle.
Insert the Tapestry needle into the hat, about 1 inch from the edge.
Pull the yarn through the hat and make a knot.
Repeat steps 1-5 to make the remaining tassels.

Finishing
Weave in any loose ends.
Enjoy your new Korean-style tassel earflap hat!

Tips
If you want a wider brim on your hat, you can cast on more stitches.
If you want a longer brim on your hat, you can knit more rows before decreasing.
If you want a thicker hat, you can use a bulkier yarn.
You can also add a pompom to the top of your hat.
