COLOR B
DOUBLE CROCHET BORDER
Start with a slip knot, join the yarn at any stitch of hat. 
Make a double crochet in each st around the hat.

MAKE 2 I-CORD STRINGS
INSTRUCTIONS HOW TO CROCHET AN I-CORD
An I-Cord is a crocheted cord, or rope, that is as long as you wish it to be.
I-Cords are great to use as drawstrings or as a purse strap, a lanyard, or any other rope or cord.
Once you get started, you’ll just keep adding rows until you reach your desired length!

R1: Chain-4. Insert hook into 2nd chain, pull up a loop. Insert hook into 3rd chain, pull up a loop. Insert hook into 4th chain, pull up a loop. (4 loops on hook)

R2 – desired length: Remove three loops from hook, being careful not to lose them.

(it is fine to pinch the cord with thumb and finger)

With remaining loop, yarn over and chain 1. Insert hook into next (empty) loop, yarn over and pull up a loop. Insert hook into next (empty) loop, yarn over and pull up a loop.
Insert hook into last (empty) loop, yarn over and pull up a loop. (4 loops on hook)

Continue creating rows following these instructions until the cord is as long as you’d like.

To end the cord: yarn over and pull through all four loops on hook.
Then fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing cord on hat.

Use the longer end and saw the string in the middle of ear flaps.
Repeat the instruction for the second string.

End off yarn, weave in ends. Turn your hat the right side out and smooth down.
You are all done with your amazing CROCHET TRAPPER HAT WITH EAR FLAPS!
