Ch 1 (does NOT count as a sc),sc in same sp, sc around. Sl st to join. =60sts. NOTE: You will be crocheting in the third loop of the single crochet to complete the edge of the hat. The following photographs show where that loop is located. This is NOT the back loop. It is behind that on the back side of the row of single crochet. Looking from right to left, the photo on the left shows bars over the loop on the first two stitches and only arrows pointing to that third loop behind the row. The photograph on the right shows what it looks like, from the front, when the hook is inserted in the third loop. Now that you know what it is to look like, continue with rnd 18.
wish to insert a stitch marker in the first sc made on each roun Rnds 18 - 19: Ch 1, sc in 3rd loop all the way around. Sl st in 1st sc to join. =60 sts Finish off. Weave in all ends. The hat can be worn with or without ear flaps. To add earflaps, attach yellow yarn in the 3rd loop of the 9th stitch to the LEFT of the center of the back of hat.

For the second ear flap, hold the hat with the back facing you and the completed ear flap is on the left side. Attach yellow yarn in the 3rd loop of the 21st stitch to the RIGHT of the center of the back of hat. This is so that both ear flaps look exactly the same on the outside. Now follow directions for the first flap. Finish off and weave in ends. The hat can be worn with or without braids. For braids, cut each strand approximately 30 to 40 inches long depending on how long you want the braids to be. Cut the quantities listed below. Orange: 6 (3 for each side) Yellow: 12 /(6 for each side) White: 12 (6 for each side) Place 3 orange, 6 yellow and 6 white together. Insert hook from the inside of the ear flap to the outside.
Fold the yarn in half and draw through as shown here.
Pull the mass of yarn through the hole where the hook was.
Divide the strands into three groups for braiding. Separate the colors to have 2 strands of orange, 4 strands of yellow and 2 strands of white to each of the three groups. Braid evenly. Using a 6 inch strand of white yarn, tightly tie the ends of the braids at the same distance, from the ear flap, on each side. The arrow points to it in the photograph. Trim the ends evenly.
