What do you get when you cross an ungulate with a zoantharia? An Anemone Ear Flap Hat! (Sorry that is just a little zoology joke.) Reminiscent of 1960’s bathing cap, this fun and funky, textural hat will be the warmest hat you will make this winter.

Yarn: 2 Skeins of Noro Hitsuji, 100% Wool, 100 grams, 100 meters Color #6 (or other suitable bulky weight yarn).

Gauge = 12 stitches = 4 inches

Finished Hat Circumference = approx. 21 (23 1/3, 25 1/3) inches

Note: Pattern is written for smallest size with changes for larger sizes in parentheses. When only one number is given, it applies to all sizes. To follow pattern more easily, circle all numbers pertaining to your size before beginning.

Needles: US 10 circular or set of dpn; or size necessary to make gauge. You can use straight needles to begin the ear flaps.
