Michele's son Eli wanted a hat for this winter. He'd found one he liked, but knew his mom could do better. So Michele pulled out some bulky alpaca, and used it doubled to create this super cool, soft & cozy hat. Choose smaller or larger earflaps, stripe at will, and top it with a pom pom, or not. You decide. Either way, it's Kyarns tested, Eli approved.

You will need the following materials:

Yarn: 174 yards MC and 87 yards each CC bulk weight yarn. Shown in 2 skeins MC and 1 skein each of Nashua Handknits Paradise yarn. This yarn has been discontinued.
Pattern: Kyarns Eli Hat Pattern
Needles: size 10 US in 16" circular and double pointed, size H crochet hook
