This little ribbed crochet hat with ear flaps is perfect for 0-3 months. I first made my grandson this warm cosy ribbed hat with earflaps and a huge pom pom, when he was just a few weeks old. And it was a firm favourite throughout the winter. The Baby hat was crocheted using the Half double crochet Stitch, (HDC) and to create the ribbing effect the HDC is worked around the front of the previous rounds post (FPHDC)
Since posting a picture of him in his ribbed earflap hat, I have been asked several times for the baby hat crochet pattern with ear flaps. And in between Grandmother duties I finall got it written up.
