Crocheted earflap hats are a great way to keep your head and ears warm in the winter. Plus, they're super easy to make! If you're a beginner, this is a great project to start with. And if you're an experienced crocheter, you can easily customize the hat to your liking. This hat is made with a simple single crochet stitch, and it's worked in the round. The earflaps are added at the end. Let's get started!

Finished Size

The finished hat will fit an average adult head. It can be adjusted to fit a smaller or larger head by changing the number of stitches in the foundation chain and/or the number of rows crocheted.

4 stitches and 5 rows = 1 inch

Leave a long tail and fasten off. Make one earflap. Repeat the steps to make the second earflap.

Finishing

Sew the earflaps to the hat. Fold the top edge of the hat down by about 1 inch and sew it in place. Weave in any loose ends. That's it! You're all done!

Tips

I used medium-weight yarn and a 4.5mm hook to make this hat. You can use any type of yarn and hook that you like.
If you want a smaller or larger hat, adjust the number of stitches in the foundation chain and/or the number of rows crocheted.
You can customize the hat to your liking by adding embellishments such as pom-poms, tassels, or buttons.
