This cute little knit hat will keep your ears warm!

size 6, 16” circular (for bottom edging and earflaps);
size 8, 16” circular (for body);
size 8, double pointed (for top shaping).
(Optional: size 6 double pointed needles for earflaps, if you prefer not to knit back and forth on circulars.)
Change needle size as necessary, for correct gauge.
