Increase width of tie to turn into Earflap: Keep knitting in garter stitch, but start increasing the width of the tie you’ve just knit by adding a stitch at the beginning of each row. Continue adding stitches this way until you have 12 stitches on your needle. Place this first Tie/Earflap piece on a stitch holder.

Repeat from 1 to create second earflap. Working with the 2nd earflap that is on your needles, you are now going to create the first row in the body of the hat and attach the first earflap you made to that row and then continue knitting in the round to make the body of the hat. On your needles is the second earflap. Cast on an additional 14 stitches this begins to build the body of the hat Attach second earflap Move the first earflap you made from the stitch holder onto the needles, attaching it to the knitting by knitting across it.

Create additional row to make body of hat Cast on an additional 26 stitches, join to first earflap(use marker if you need to to mark this stop, which is where you will change from knit to purl on each row for the next 6-8 rows to create the brim).

Brim of hat continue to knit in the round in garterstitch (purl a row, knit a row, repeat) for 1 1/2 inches. This creates the ‘brim’ of the hat.

Create Eyelet Row for ties: Knit first two stitches, do a yarn over, then purl two together, then do a yarn over, then purl 2 together until you’ve reach the last two stitches: knit these two together. You’ve created your eyelet row.

Now, knit 20 rows to make the rollover cuff. Cast off. You are done with knitting, Finishing Finishing Fold the bootie in half, so that you are looking at the garter stitch or wrong side of the stitches on the top of the booty foot.
