Video Tutorial

Follow along with our expert knitter in this step-by-step video tutorial. Each step is clearly explained and demonstrated, making it easy for you to create a beautiful and functional ear flap hat.

Step 1: Cast On

Cast on 96 stitches using your size 8 knitting needles.

Step 2: Ribbing

Work 1x1 ribbing for the brim of the hat. Knit one stitch and purl one stitch for the entire row.

Step 3: Stockinette Stitch

After the ribbing, switch to stockinette stitch for the crown of the hat. Knit every row until the hat measures approximately 7 inches from the cast-on edge.

Step 4: Divide for Ear Flaps

Divide the stitches into three sections: 32 stitches for each ear flap and 32 stitches for the back of the hat.

Step 5: Ear Flaps

Working with the left ear flap, join a new piece of yarn and knit 32 stitches. Knit back and forth until the flap measures approximately 12 inches long.

Step 6: Back of the Hat

With the remaining 32 stitches, work in stockinette stitch for the back of the hat. Knit until the length from the cast-on edge to the top of the hat is approximately 14 inches.

Step 7: Join Ear Flaps

Fold the hat in half and place the ear flaps over the back. Sew the ear flaps to the back using a tapestry needle and a whip stitch.

Step 8: Bind Off

Bind off all the stitches and weave in any loose ends.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You've now successfully knitted a stylish and comfortable men's ear flap hat. Wear it with confidence and enjoy the warmth and coziness it provides during the cold winter months.
