I’m giving directions to knit this hat in the round. I used my interchangeable needles and the magic loop method. I’m sure there are some good tutorials available if you haven’t got the hang of it yet.

DPNs would also be fine. Additionally, you could easily knit this hat flat and then seam it before picking up the ears. It’s pretty versatile.

Requires less than one ball of yarn. You could use a contrast yarn for the ears.

My gauge was 20sts to 10cm. Row gauge is not too important.
