Knitted hat with earflaps for women. Knitting patterns with descriptions, photos

to knit a fashionable earflap hat ; the main thing is to choose the model and yarn you like. The hat, as a rule, is simple in design, with very simple patterns, but the products turn out to be simply delightful and, importantly, modern.

Last year, these catalog models of hats were on sale, mostly from Polish manufacturers, but for craftswomen these models do not pose much of a challenge.

In addition, I tried to select useful videos and a basic description, based on which you can model a hat to your taste. And also in this publication you can find a beautiful fur hat with earflaps with a description.

The hats are very similar with their ears. Although the patterns on them vary, which is generally good; You can present your product and choose the option you like:

• with garter or face stitch,
• decorated with small or large flowers,
• buttons or brooches.

How to knit the first hat and the next two are in this video:

In the video master class on knitting a hat, the “star” pattern is used, but I want to offer another, no less beautiful pattern for such a headdress, the “honeycomb” knitting pattern.

I don’t presume to say, but it seemed to me that in the photo of the catalog hat with earflaps, there was something very similar to this particular pattern:

Types of women's hats with earflaps

In 2021-2022, earflaps remain in fashion. The trend is in models of hats with both long and short ears, which have ties. Knitted hats with fur trim and pom-poms do not lose popularity. Women's earflaps are decorated with arans, jacquard and openwork patterns.

For decoration, use a 2-color knitting technique or combine more shades. Embroidery is done on the hats, beads are sewn on, and rhinestones are glued on.

Selection of yarn for earflaps

To knit a hat you need warm yarn that does not wear out and can withstand washing well. More often they use natural wool thread or a mixture with acrylic (it is better if the wool content is at least 70% so that the earflaps remain warm). Alpaca and mohair yarns are also used.

Cashmere yarn is an excellent option for a hat with earflaps

You cannot knit hats from itchy yarn, which will irritate the scalp and forehead; for sensitive skin, threads from:

• cashmere;
• wool;
• alpacas;
• merino

Merino threads are the least warm of all, so they are only suitable for knitting hats in calm weather with moderate frost. The thicker the thread, the wider the distance between the loops, which means the headdress will blow in the wind. In this case, it is better to make a double earflap and a fur lining.

How to knit a hat with earflaps for a boy

Now we will look at how to knit a children's hat with earflaps. This earflap hat is more intended for a boy, but this is not at all necessary. The earflap hat has a double layer of knitting on the sides. In addition, it has fabric insulation, hemmed on the reverse side. It is suitable for the coldest time of the year. The product is decorated with white trim on the lapel and along the edges of the ears. The white trim looks great against the vibrant blue. For needlework you will need two types of mixed yarn, smooth colored and twisted for the lapel and tying the ears. The head circumference in this case is forty-eight centimeters. We carry out the work with knitting needles number five. The knitting technique for this model of a hat with earflaps for a boy differs from the methods that we discussed in previous lessons. To knit the first element, you need to cast on twenty-two loops, and knit a thirty-six cm rectangular fabric with the Arana pattern.

The width of the rectangle is twelve cm. This detail will become the central zone of a boy’s earflap hat, that is, it will form the part of the hat between the forehead and the back of the head. After this, in the center of the fabric we will pick up twelve new units from the edge loops and begin to knit the first ear of the hat. The pattern is the same as in the first part, that is, “Arana”. We knit eighteen cm straight, after which we add a loop on both sides. Next we knit seven cm out of fourteen loops. After this, reduce the loops to eight, and close the row. Now from the last closed P we take the first P of the second layer, and knit everything in a mirror image to make a double fabric. We knit the second ear of the earflap hat in the same way as the first. We fold the parts and carefully sew the hat together. Now all we have to do is tie it with textured yarn using a crochet hook. In the forehead area we crochet the visor using the same textured thread. A boy's earflap hat is decorated with plaits with pompoms. The harnesses are knitted using three knit stitches and sewn to the ears and visor. When you have finished all the binding and made the visor, the hat for the boy can be considered ready.

Master class on knitting earflaps with an elastic band with long ears

A hat with earflaps for women in this version is knitted with an elastic band pattern. To work, you need to choose a yarn that will consist of acrylic and wool in equal proportions.

The master class describes the algorithm for knitting earflaps using materials and tools:

• Mammola yarn (50% wool, 50% acrylic, 30 m/50 g), total 250 g;
• knitting needles No. 10;
• hook number 10.

The knitting density is 10x10 P = 12 cm2.

Making ears

Knitting a headdress begins with the ears according to the pattern (see below).

Knitted earflap hat for women with long ears

The diagram shows only the front rows, the purl rows are repeated according to the pattern (above the IP - IP, and above the LP - LP).

Knitting algorithm:

1. Cast on 6 stitches on the needles.
2. Knit the first eye according to the pattern, adding 1 P in each front row after removing the KrP.
3. At 13 R you should get 14 R on the knitting needle.
4. A second eyelet is made similar to the first one.

Knitting hats

The base of the hat begins to be knitted by connecting the parts:

• Before the first eye, make 2 yarn overs on the knitting needles, knit the eye in accordance with the pattern, perform 26 yarn overs and knit the loops of the second eye. Join the first and last stitch of the row into a ring. The row should be 56 P.

Knitting a hat with earflaps for women with long ears - knitting patterns

• Distribute the loops: knit 2 LP, 14 P according to the pattern, 26 P with a 2x2 elastic band, and again 14 P according to the pattern. Knit a headdress in the round 26 R.
• In 27 R in an elastic band, knit every 2 stitches together, and in the “braid” pattern, make decreases according to the pattern. There should be 42 P left in the row.
• In 28 R in an elastic band, every 2 LPs are knitted together, decreases are made according to the pattern, as well as in 1 UB in 2 LPs between the braids at the back. There should be 28 stitches left on the knitting needles, and there should be a 1x1 elastic band on the front of the headdress.
• 29-30 R knit according to the pattern without changes.
• In 31 R, knit 28 R with decreasing and stretching. To do this, remove 1 P as an LP, perform 1 LP and pull it through the one removed from the knitting needle.
• The resulting 14 P need to be pulled together, the thread secured from the inside of the headdress and cut.

To decorate the hat, you need to crochet a border along the bottom edge using the crab step technique.

The edges of the earflaps are tied with a “crawfish step”

To decorate the ears:

1. Cut 12 threads of 35 cm in length.
2. Fold 6 pieces in half, tie with a separate thread on the bend line.
3. Tie a braid and secure the bottom with a knot.
4. Follow the same steps with the other 6 pieces of yarn.
5. Sew or tie the braids to the ears of the headdress.

For decoration, you can make a large pompom and sew it to the top of the earflaps.

Original hat with earflaps for women

It would be wrong not to introduce you to another simple method of making a hat with earflaps. You can see it in the photo:

In this model, in addition to the main knitting needles, a hook is used to finish the lapel. The hat is made of bouclé gray yarn and white regular yarn.

The “trick” and simplicity of this model lies precisely in the fact that the imitation of earflaps is achieved by tying the lapel and the back part, that is, the second, rear, lapel to the previously knitted cap.

The simplest master class for such a cute hat:

• make a calculation of P. based on the head;
• in two threads, dial the required amount of P.;
• knit 12 cm upwards with garter stitch (you already know how this knitting is done - knit stitches are knitted on both sides of the product);
• To decorate the bottom of the hat, divide the fabric into 8 wedges, then continue knitting, decreasing one stitch in each wedge in every second row. When there are 10 stitches on the knitting needle, pull them together with thread and secure the tip;
• Using gray thread in two folds, cast on the loops for the lapel along the lower edge of the cap - in front along the width of the forehead. After knitting 10 cm, close the lapel loops. From the remaining stitches of the cap, pick up the back lapel with gray yarn folded in half and knit 10 cm in this way. Fold threads of different colors and tie the lapels. To do this, use a crochet hook and single crochet.

To knit this model of earflaps you will need materials and tools:

• Drops Nepal yarn (65% wool, 35% alpaca, 75 m per 50 g);

Yarn Drops Nepal

• knitting needles No. 5;
• hook number 10.

The knitting density is 17 P per 10 cm. The loops are calculated for a head circumference of 52-56 cm.

Patterns used

A hat with earflaps is knitted (for women who are not experienced in knitting, this master class is suitable due to the simplicity of the patterns) is knitted using the following patterns:

• Garter stitch. When knitting in a circle, the rows are alternated: even rows are knitted with all IP rows, odd rows are knitted with LP rows. When knitting with rotary rows, all loops are performed as LP.
• Braids (perform according to the diagram). In the figure, the empty cell is the LV in the front rows, the IP is in the purl rows. Diagonal lines indicate the pattern itself: remove 2 stitches onto an additional needle while working, knit the next 2 stitches, remove 2 stitches from the auxiliary needle back to the working one.

Tip: when making increases, yarn over the thread onto a working needle, and in the next row an empty loop is knitted like a loop behind the back wall so that no hole is visible in the finished fabric.

Step-by-step instructions for knitting ears

Step-by-step description of the work:

• Dial 8 P.
• 1 R (wrong side): all loops as LP. This is how all odd rows are knitted without changes.
• 2 R (front side): perform all LPs. An ND is made on 2 sides of the edge (after the 2nd P from the beginning and before the penultimate loop in the row. Additions are made when knitting in all rows of the front side of the fabric (even), until 16 P are obtained on the knitting needles. Next, start knitting pattern.
• Front side: 2 LP, 2 IP, 1 LP, ND, 1 LP, ND, 4 LP, ND, 1 LP, ND, 1 LP, 2 LP, 2 LP. It should be 20 P.
• Wrong side: 4 LP, 4 IP, 4 LP, 4 IP, 4 LP.
• Front side: 2 LP, 2 PI, pattern according to the pattern (4 P in total), 4 PI, pattern, 2 PI, 2 LP.

• At a fabric height of 4 cm, after the second and before the penultimate loop in the row, make 1 ND. The increases are knitted as IP on the front side, as LP on the wrong side.
• The increases are repeated at a fabric height of 6 cm. The result should be 24 P. In this row, the first ear of the headdress is finished knitting.
• The second ear is knitted in the same way.

When both parts are knitted, the loops are not closed; the parts are left on separate knitting needles.

Knitting the main part of the hat

When the 2 ears are ready, they need to be connected:

• On circular knitting needles, cast on 2 stitches, knit the loops of the 1st eyelet, cast on another 22 stitches, knit all the loops of the 2nd eyelet, cast on another 2 stitches. You should get 74 stitches in the row.
• Place a marker in the middle of the back of the earflaps. The next row will begin from this mark.
• The next 4 rows on the front and back of the hat are knitted in garter stitch, and in place of the ears the braid pattern is continued.

• Perform increases: 2 IP, ND, 1 LP, ND, 1 LP, 4 IP, braid pattern, 4 IP, braid pattern, 4 IP, 1 LP, ND, 1 LP, ND.
• Next, rapport is performed 4 times: 4 IP, ND, 1 LP, ND, 1 LP.
• Then knit 4 IP, 1 LP, ND, 1 LP, ND, 4 IP, braid pattern, 4 IP, braid pattern, 4 IP, 1 LP, ND, 1 LP, ND, 2 IP. It should be 88 P.
• Continue knitting according to the pattern. The IP is knitted over 4 IPs, with patterns between them according to the pattern. In total there should be 11 repeats in the height of the headdress.
• Upon reaching 15 cm in height from the forehead, cut 1 p in the purl groups of loops. At the end of the row there should be 77 P.
• At a height of 16-17 cm, decreases are repeated, after which 55 P remain in the row.
• At a height of 18 cm, the last IP and adjacent LPs are knitted together. 44 P remain in operation.
• Decreases are performed through a row, knitting 2 LPs together.
• When there are 11 P left in the work, the thread is pulled through them, pulled together and secured at the crown.

For decoration, a pompom is sewn to the earflaps. Its optimal diameter is 5-6 cm.

This model of earflaps does not have a pompom, but if the hat is worn by a young girl, you can add decor to add mischief and coquetry to the look.

You can use knitting needles to knit a headdress for winter or autumn. The thickness and density of earflaps can be varied depending on the number of knitting needles and the composition of the yarn. For women, it is better to choose strict models without unnecessary decorative elements. Decorations in the form of a single flower, embroidery on a hat, or several rhinestones are allowed. Young girls can add a pom-pom or make earflaps from bright multi-colored threads.

General principles and tips for knitting a hat with earflaps

• Knitting a warm hat will not be difficult for experienced needlewomen, but beginners need to find good and understandable descriptions or video tutorials and a pattern that will form the basis of a new earflap. It is possible to start knitting without a pattern, if you have a factory-made earflap hat, then you can take it as the basis for a new earflap.
• For beginners, we recommend not to load the product with complex patterns, but to knit with simple knitting needles or crochet. If possible, choose yarn that is smooth and not textured. Because When crocheting from bouclé yarn, it is very difficult to count stitches.
• It can be easy to get lost in the variety of patterns and patterns; to help you, we have compiled this selection of earflaps. As you gain more and more experience in knitting, you will be able to add complex embroidery or patterns with arans and braids to a simple model.
• Before starting knitting, we recommend knitting a sample! This is very important because... In an unfamiliar product, you need to know exactly your knitting density. Knit a 10*10 cm sample, wash and dry it. Then, with high accuracy, you will know how many stitches you need to put on a hat with earflaps and whether your yarn will shrink after washing.
• You can also evaluate color fastness. If suddenly the sample fades, then you cannot combine the selected yarn with light threads.
• The next step is to take measurements and count the number of loops for the initial set, as well as the height, width and depth of the earflap hat.
• To make the earflap hat really warm, you need to knit it in 2 layers or sew on a lining. For those who are especially cold, we suggest laying a thin layer of padding polyester between two layers of earflaps or buying a ready-made lining with padding polyester.
• Pay special attention to the color of your product. It should be combined with your outerwear, complement it harmoniously and match your color type. Some people really don’t like wearing dark colors in winter and prefer white or soft pink. Others, on the contrary, believe that only dark shades suit them.

We also recommend that you don’t skimp on buying good yarn. Remember that the more acrylic in the thread, the cooler your earflap hat will be. Ideal combination:

• The top of the earflaps is knitted from natural wool with a dense pattern
• Lining made of acrylic or bouclé yarn (like Alize Softi), yarn imitating fur.

Then you get a warm and wind-free top, the yarn can even prickle a little, and the inside adjacent to the head is pleasant to the touch.

What we need for work:

To make a hat with earflaps, you need to buy approximately 150-200 grams of yarn. Consumption is determined in accordance with the following indicators:

• Head volume
• Hat shape and ear length
• Knitting technique and pattern complexity
• Knitting density is always individual
• The quality and composition of the yarn you choose
• Availability of lining
• Presence and absence of pompoms
• Knitting needle and hook size.
