Ensure to have an odd number of stitches total.

Next Row:

Change yarn color if desired, chain one and cut the previous color yarn.
Join new yarn with a slip knot.
Chain two and turn your work.
Start with a front post double crochet around the second double crochet from the previous row.

Alternate with a half double crochet into the next stitch.
Continue the pattern of front post double crochet, half double crochet till the end of the row.

Repeat Rows:

Alternate the following two rows for the main body of the hat:

For Repeat Row 1:

Chain two for the first double crochet, make one increase in the second stitch, and double crochet in each stitch across, ending with an increase in the second-to-last stitch and a double crochet in the last stitch.

Repeat Row 2:

Chain two, turn your work, and follow the pattern of front post and half double crochet, as established.
Continue these repeats until you are about 5-6cm from the desired final width of the hat.

Ribbing:

Finish on a double crochet row.
Start the ribbing with chaining two and turning your work.
Make increases at the beginning and end of each row as before, but now use front post and back post double crochets for the ribbing pattern.

Once you've reached the desired width, break off yarn and weave in all ends.
Create braids or any other type of tie for the ear flaps if desired. Attach them securely.
