What a Flap!

My latest project for das Kind was a hat with ear flaps. I purchased Knitting Pure and Simple's Baby Hats, Mitts, and Booties. The instructions are simple enough for even this beginner knitter to have a great looking completed project.

Yes, I made a few errors on this project. Instructions begin with making one ear flap then starting another. The first ear flap is joined to the rest of the hat. Pull the yarn as tight as you can (without breaking, of course) to avoid leaving a hole like I did. Yup. Plain as day. The kiddo won't care. She's just sporting a pink hat with ear flaps. The "strings" are just a simple I-cord. Thank you, Judy, for your tutorial.

The hat was completed on size 6 double-pointed needles with Cascade 220 Heathers in color 2449. I would recommend this pattern for a beginner looking to advance his or her skills just a little due to the connecting the ear flap and adding a cord.

Happy Knitting!
