This cute ear flap hat fits one and two year olds. Instructions for two year olds are in parenthesis. Add stripes as desired.
Gauge:20 sts=4" in St st Materials: 3 ounces worsted weight yarn Needles appropriate to yarn to obtain gauge Crochet hook Instructions CO 72 (80) stitches. Work in St st (knit 1 row, purl 1 row) for 5½" (6"). Work decrease rows as follows: Row 1: *K6, k2tog* repeat across. Row 2: P Row 3: *K5, k2tog* repeat across. Row 4: P Row 5: *K4, k2tog* repeat across. Row 6: P Row 7: *K3, k2tog* repeat across. Row 8: P Row 9: *K2, k2tog* repeat across. Row 10: P Row 11: *K1, k2tog* repeat across Row 12: P Row 13: *K2tog* repeat across. Cut yarn, thread through remaining stitches on needle. Pull tog tightly and secure. Sew back seam. 
Earflaps:With 2 strands of yarn, CO 10 stitches. Work in St st for 10 rows. Work decreases as follows: Row 1: K1, k2tog, k to last 3 sts, k2tog, k1. Row 2: P Repeat last 2 rows until you have 4 sts left, ending after a purl row. Next row: K2tog twice. Next row: P last 2 sts tog. Slip loop to crochet hook, ch 45. Sew earflaps 2½" from back seam and 1½" from bottom of hat. You can also knit the earflaps directly on to the hat by picking up the stitches from the inside, using the same measurements as above. If doing stripes, start the stripe sequence after you have knit about 1½" because this part will curl. You can put a pom pom on top, I-cord, or even a crocheted flower.
