I have a friend who did some holiday photos with her sweetie and they are both wearing plaid earflap hats. It might have been the thing to push me over the edge of thinking that earflap hats are actually cute, and not just for lumberjacks.
Lion Brand Yarn has a great free pattern (you have to have a login to download) for a simple earflap hat called Huldra, make with their Scarfie yarn, which adds to the fun because it has different colors and even multicolored bits all in the same ball. It makes it look scrappy and more complex than it is, but it really just takes a ball of yarn and a couple of afternoons to make this stylish and warm hat.
What do you think of earflap hats? Have you ever knit one? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
