Notes

Upsized the hat for 16-18” circumference. Also, changed the crown shaping and added earflaps and a pom pom to match my Tympany hat.

Mods:
Do 12 mitered squares.
Pick up 120 sts.
Knit until hat measures 5” from bottom. (If I was doing this again, will knit until 6”)
K2tog around (60 sts)
knit even 2 rows
K2tog around (30 sts)
knit even 1 row
K2tog around (15 sts)
Break yarn and thread through live stitches. Pull tight and secure to inside of hat.

Earflaps:
Pick up 20 stitches on one side of hat.
Knit in garter stitch for 1 inch
Row 1: K1, K2tog, K to end of row
Row 2: K1, K2tog, K to end of row
Repeat rows 1 and 2 until only 6 sts left, bind off.
Skip 3 mitered squares and pick up another 20 stitches, repeat as same for first earflap.

Added a 1.5” pom pom. Cut 3 lengths of 15” yarn, folded in half and secured to earflap and then braided with a 1” tassle on bottom. Repeated for other earflap.
