H hook
1st ear flap, you can slip stitch onto the side of the hat with your pur­ple yarn, begin the dc stitch­es, (like to have the seam in the back of the hat, so I do the ear flap on the side of the hat)
2nd flap, fold hat in half and sl st in dc direct­ly across from the last dc from the oth­er ear flap. Fol­low the direc­tions below for both ear flaps.

The braid from the cen­ter of the ear flap at the bot­tom attach­es two col­ors of yarn, pink and pur­ple. With an Sl st in the cen­ter of the bot­tom of the ear flap and chain 30, st it off and cut yarn.
