Main Section:
Make sure that your ear flaps are both facing the same way. With the yarn still attached to one of the ear flaps, cast on 9 sts (for size 1-3T) and for size 3-5T 15 sts, rib across 21 sts of the second ear flap, cast on 33 sts, join in the round, and rib across the first ear flap. Place marker to mark the beginning of the round (84 sts for size 1-3T and 90 sts for size 3- 5T). Keep knitting in the established 3x3 rib (ie k3, p3) till the work measures: 1-3T: 4.5 inches 3-5T: 5 inches from the cast on stitches between the ear flaps.

Run yarn through the remaining stitches, draw up and fasten off.
Edging and trims:
Using contrast color and with right side facing you, pick up 9 (15) sts from the cast on sts, 15 sts evenly along side edge of the first ear flap, 9 sts along cast on edge, 15 sts evenly along side edge, 33 sts along cast on sts, 15 sts evenly along side edge of the second ear flap, 9 sts along cast on edge, 15 sts evenly along side edge. Well if you happen to pick up a few stitches more or less, that's ok too. Purl a round Bind off knit wise. Next, using main color, pick up 3 sts in the middle of each ear flap and knit it as an I-cord for 12-13 inches. Bind off, leaving 10 inch long tail. Make 3 pomp pomps, and attach one to the top of the hat and one to each I-cord tie. Use the tail yarn you left behind to attach pomp pomps to the hat. Weave in any loose ends. Block lightly.
