A warm little hat which will stay on during vigorous play. Keep little ears warm on the coldest day.

A simple, bottom up knit, trimmed with a huge pom-pom.

Flaps are knitted first and then incorporated in crown which begins with an easy mock cable rib and a simple cable pattern.

Very little counting makes this a satisfying knit-in-front-of-the-telly project. Tolerates family interruptions well!

Those of you who knit for profit, particularly those of you who knit tirelessly for good causes, are absolutely welcome to upload/pin/post/sell for profit (yaaaay!) any of your knits from this pattern with my blessings.
