The designer responsible for this great hat is Kristine Byrnes. She won SCI’s competition for a hat incorporating earflaps.

This hat’s headband is knitted side to side, and it provides a double layer of garter stitch to keep the ears warm.

Kristine has used a provisional cast on when knitting this hat. Not familiar with a provisional cast on?
