I handknit this practical earflap hat from soft and thick 100% merino wool yarn in shades of red-orange-maroon(1). More colors shown in last picture. All hats come with a pompom.
The shaping is perfect to cover and protect the ears and forehead without ties. Should be used in very cold climate as the material is 100% wool which can be too warm and itchy in mild weather.
Benefits of merino wool are:
- Breathable and warm
- Moisture wicking and odor resistant
- Very soft and plush
- Retains its shape well
- Biodegradable
- 100% Mulesing free
My experience with my sons and husband is, that they like to have their ears covered in winter, but don't like those fiddly ties under the chin. So this design is perfect in every way. It is fun to look at, fun to wear and warm.
This listing is for ONE hat in the color of your choosing WITH pompom and pointy pixie shape.

CARE
Please wash by hand in lukewarm water for best care. Can be washed in a washing machine, but only on a COLD, WOOL cycle with special detergent for wool. Inadequate washing cycle can cause felting of the hat!
Wool is dirt repellent so airing it in the sun will help with the cleaning.
I usually wash my sons' hats by hand in a mild shampoo water in the spring. Squeeze out excess water through a towel, reshape and dry flat.
Put away in a ziplock bag or sealed container through the summer when not in use to avoid any moth damage.
