Earflap
Row1:Hold the hat with the top of the hat pointing to the ground. On the right side of one of your ear holes insert your hook into one of the stitches and pull up loop, sc x 9 (9) (See photo below)
Row2:Turn, ch1, invdec, sc x 5, invdec (7)
Row3:Turn, ch1, invdec, sc x 3, invdec (5)

Repeat Row1-6 for second Ear Flap, but DO NOT fo. Now sc around the entire piece x 60, fo (60)

Tassels
Cut strips of yarn 22 inches long. Fold in half (you will pull the yarn through at this fold). Insert hook into the middle st on one of your ear flaps. Pull through yarn.
Now pull yarn ends through the loop.
And tighten. Now braid your tassel, or leave the strands loose.
Trim 
I gave the hats a frilly trim. To do this insert your hook into one of the posts on the last round of your hat.
Pull up loop, ch3 and sc in same st. Now sc, ch3, sc in every post around the entire hat, fo. Your trim should look like this.
Now weave in all your ends, and your done! Now put it on your little one!
Here are my little girls wearing there hats...

  7. I made a red hat and modified it without the earflaps and did the last couple of rows in a fluffy white yarn and now Spike has a Santa hat!
    I am now working on a sombrero.

  16. Your chihuahuas look so adorable in their little christmas tree hats!! I've always gotten my 2 dogs snoods from Zoo Snoods because they're too cute (animal-themed!) and they keep them warm! You can check them out here: https://www.zoosnoods.com/ But this is too adorable not to try out, so I'm definitely adding this as a project this month. Thanks for sharing!
