Flagstone Earflap Hat
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®
GAUGE:
7 1/4 single crochet = 4 in. (10 cm). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
NOTES:
Hat is worked in continuous rounds. Do not join at end of rounds.

Flagstone Earflap Hat Reviewed by melanie on 2011-11-01
I have been crocheting for about 7 years now. My version of this hat turned out very similar to the picture. I had hoped the hat would fit my husband, but it didn't. Fits me well! I only did two rounds of edging because three seemed excessive.
