NOTES Row 3: k3, inc1 (pegs 8-11)
Row 4: k4 (pegs 11-8)
This pattern is created by first working the two Row 5: k4 (pegs 8-11)
earflaps on either side of the loom. Without Row 6: inc1, k4 (pegs 12-8)
removing the earflaps, the pattern is then Row 7: k5 (pegs 8-12)
worked like a regular hat. Row 8: k5 (pegs 12-8)
Row 9: inc1, k5 (pegs 7-12)
Colorwork on knitting looms often has a tight Row 10: k6 (pegs 12-7)
tension. Thus, for a better fit, ensure that Row 11: k6 (pegs 7-12)
tension remains loose throughout the Row 12: inc1, k6 (pegs 13-7)
colorwork sections. Row 13: k7 (pegs 7-13)
Row 14: k7 (pegs 13-7)
Mark pegs (1-48) on the loom for ease in Row 15: k7, inc1 (pegs 7-14)
following this pattern. Row 16: k8, (pegs 14-7)

Bind off and weave in ends. (Be sure to sew in
tightly the loose ends from the earflaps.)
Single crochet around border (brim/earflaps)
for a more polished look [optional].
Make tassels on earflaps by pulling multiple
strands of yarn (approximately 3 feet in
length—1.5 ft on each side of ear flap) through
each of the first three stitches in the earflap.
Braid the three pieces to the desired length. Tie
off with small piece of yarn and trim edges.
Attach pom pom if desired.
