Developed by request for the Donegal Aran tweed 100% wool, this pattern was also tested with Drops Nepal Alpaca Blend yarns.

Knit the two earflaps first, then join them together in sequence to work in the round or you can stay with a flat piece to make the main body of the hat, with decreasing stitch-work to close the crown.
