2nd flap, fold hat in half and sl st in dc directly across from the last dc from the other ear flap. Follow directions below for both ear flaps.

Row 1. ch 2, dc in the next 11 dc stitches, turn. -11 sts

Around the edge of the hat, I single crochet around the the hat with Fushia yarn. The braid from the center of the ear flap at the bottom, H hook, Fushia and White yarn, with a sl st in the center of the bottom of the ear flap and chain 30, and sl st it off and cut yarn.
