Dropping scrap yarn,work 2 sc in each st around with solid-color yarn.Fasten off,weave in ends. |
| For Ties Cut 12 strands of yarn approx 30" long.I use 2 strands of the solid color I used for the hat for each side and use different colors for the other strands.Take 6 strands for each side and,using crochet hook,pull the center of strands through the center stitch of the last round of the earflap.Braid the strands,with 4 strands in each group.When there are a few inches still unbraided,take one of the solid strands and wrap it around the braid.Needle that strand and pull it through the wrapped strands.Repeat that a few times to secure.Trim the strands to desired length. Repeat for other side. |
