This is a fun, quick, and easy earflap hat and neck warmer pattern sized to fit a child up through an adult. The pattern can be easily completed in one evening and the yarn is inexpensive and worry-free making this an ideal project for those last minute gifts! The hat alone requires about 75 yards to complete with braided tassels. The pattern has been thoroughly test knit in a wide variety of bulky and super bulky weight yarns. The hat is very stretchy and fits almost everyone from age 2 years up. If you are knitting the child’s length neck warmer you only need 1 skein of the recommended yarn and two skeins for the adult length neck warmer and hat.
