Winter Hat with Ear Flaps

[delladea]

Because I have an abundance of time and yarn combined with a lack of funds, everyone is getting crocheted Yule gifts this year. So far on my list to make is two pairs of fingerless gloves, a throw, and possibly a shawl (though I'm rethinking the latter). I come from a family of crafters, so I know the gifts would be appreciated.

I made this hat for my husband as he is in desperate need of ear-covering winter wear. I really, really like how it turned out:



Now I'm debating on making myself one if my hands aren't killing me by the end of the month.

Is anyone else doing handmade gifts for the winter holidays?

That is one neat hat!

I made my brother a hat (similar style to yours), sister in law some wrist warmers and a hat, and I'm making a gnome type hat (best way to describe it) as a secret santa gift.

For someone who doesn't like hats, I am sure making an awful lot of them right now :D
