knitting earflap hat pattern
How do I knit an earflap hat?
Hi everyone. I've searched the internet for patterns but I don't like any of the ones I've seen. I can't croquet or purl, I can only knit as I'm fairly new to knitting. I really want to knit myself an earflap hat as I love them. Please could anyone explain how to make one and what kind of needles I will need?
Thank you.

Purling isn't so hard after you try it out a few times I found this pattern on Knitty:

It's knitting in the round (which does involve purling), but I just wanted to show you a picture of what the earflap will look like. Just try to mimick that shape with the knitting skills you do have (you'll need to know increases and decreases at the very least). You need to make two of them. Then, you have either the option to knit them into your hat using circular needles or sew them on after you finished making a regular hat. The first option may sound more daunting, but it'll guarantee that no seams will show in the sides of your hat
There is also this pattern, called the Amelia Earhart. It's more of a cap than an earflap, but maybe if you tweak the pattern slightly the flaps can be longer.
