Earflap hat

I've been wanting to make an earflap hat for quite awhile, but never could settle on a pattern, so I made one up off the top of my head Saturday night and it actually worked! It's worked in the round down to the flaps, which are done back and forth, all in half double crochet. I threaded lots of yarn through the ends of the flaps and braided it together, then finished it off with a fun pompom on the top, all done in the same gray/cream tweed wool yarn.
