Earflap Hat



I originally crocheted this hat before my son Jace was born using the pattern from Candy Babies for the hat on the cover. I used Bernat Denimstyle and Lu Lu instead of the Berroco Suede and Plush for the hat. I recently tried it on him since it was now supposed to be his size, but found the hat to have too much height in it. Since it was constructed from the bottom up, it was easy to fix. I frogged about 8 rows and then tried it back on Jace. I only needed 4 more rows for the hat to be the right height, so I decreased every other stitch in each of the 4 rounds. I put it back on Jace after finishing it up, and voila! He has an adorable--and warm--hat to wear for this winter!
