Finishing
I call this the Versatile Earflap Hat because the rounded earflaps allow you to finish the
hat any way you choose. The earflaps look great just as they are, or you can attach
braids, tassels or pom poms. I will be posting additional ideas for this hat on my blog so
be sure to check back often. Also, I would love to see your finished hats if you care to
share your pictures in the Micah Makes Flickr group (
www.flickr.com/groups/
micahmakes).
