Introducing our cozy and stylish knitted hat pattern, designed for ultimate warmth and comfort. Featuring gently curved earflaps, this hat not only provides excellent ear coverage but also ensures it stays securely in place. Knit in the round from the bottom up, this pattern employs German Short Rows to perfectly shape the earflaps, transitioning into a chic Trellis pattern for the body of the hat. Whether you add a trendy pom-pom or choose to leave it bare, this hat makes a fashionable statement while keeping you warm on chilly days. Crafted with slouchy style in mind, it offers versatile fit options; for those preferring a snugger look, simply work fewer repeats of the pattern stitch for a custom fit.
