Autumnal Garter Ear Flap Hat (knit)

Yellowish, greenish, brownish knit hat with ear flaps and a little tassel coming off the pointed top. Hat lays on a wood tray next to fall leaves.


I've had the "Garter Ear Flap Hat" pattern by Purl Soho bookmarked for awhile. I love that it requires no seaming up the back - worked in the round on circular needles. I love the ear flaps. I love that little tassel on top. BUT I was terrified of the acronyms - "wrp-t" and "s2kp." Okay, once I learned how to do those acronyms, it really wasn't that scary. I did it! I did it! And that tassel?? That tassel may make more appearances on pointed hats.
