Using Stitch Marker mark where you would want your ear flaps to be

Slip stitch onto hat where you want your ear flap to start

8 DC across chain 2
decrease down until desire size and then SC the last stitch

2 rows of SC around the hat finish off and weave in ends.

you may add any type of tie to the ear flaps as you desire I braided strand of wool together and attached to my hat as requested from my daughter.
