Earflaps:


With right side facing, fold the hat in half vertically, matching the side seams. Pin the side seams together from the top of the hat to about 6 inches above the brim. Repeat on the other side.
Single crochet around the edge of each earflap, joining the two flaps together at the top. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Brim:


Fold the brim up and single crochet around the edge, evenly spacing the stitches. Fasten off and weave in ends.


Tips
For a larger hat, continue crocheting additional rounds of hdc before starting the earflaps.
For a tighter fit, use a smaller hook size.
For a looser fit, use a larger hook size.
You can use any color of coral fleece yarn you like. For a more subtle look, try a neutral color like gray or black. For a pop of color, try a brighter color like pink or blue.

Conclusion

These coral fleece earflap hats are a quick and easy way to keep your head and ears warm this winter. They're also a great way to add a personal touch to your winter wardrobe. So grab a skein of yarn and a crochet hook and get started today!
