Earflap #2
(Use Color C – Dusty Blue)
****To determine placement of the second earflap, with right side out, fold hat so that first earflap is folded in half and you are looking at the front of the hat. The first earflap will be on the left as you look at the hat. From the fold on the right side of the flattened hat, count 5 stitches to the left (toward the center front of the hat). Place a stitch marker in that stitch. Attach yarn to that stitch. Working on right side of hat and following directions for Earflap #1, complete Earflap #2.
Do Not Fasten off yarn. Continue on to Edging for All Around Hat and Both Earflaps.
Edging for All Around Hat and Earflaps:
(Use Color C – Dusty Blue)
Row 12: (Use Color C – Dusty Blue) Sc in each stitch all the way around the hat. Ch 1. Fasten off. Weave in all loose ends on hat.
Braids:
(Use Color C – Dusty Blue) **You will see that in one of my photos the braids are done in Color A – Ducky. You can choose whatever combination that you like.
Braid #1
1. If using one color, cut 12 24-inch lengths of yarn.
2. Place these together in one group. (12 lengths)
3. If using two colors, cut 6 24-inch lengths of yarn in each color.
4. Place these together in one group. (12 lengths)
5. Fold the group in half.
6. With the right side of the earflap facing you and using your crochet hook, pull the folded end of the yarn group through the Ch 2 space in the last row of sc at the bottom of the earflap. Pull it from right side to wrong side. Put the other end of the yarn group through the loop and pull tightly. The group of yarns is now attached to the earflap.
7. Because you folded the 12 yarn lengths in half, you now have 24 yarns to use to make your braid. Divide the 24 into 3 groups of 8. (You can decide how to divide up the colors. You can just leave them random or divide as you wish.) Braid the yarn until you get to 2 ½ inches from the end of the yarn.
8. Cut another length of yarn (in either color) and wrap 3 times around the braid. Pull tight and knot twice to hold braid from unraveling. Trim bottom of braid leaving approximately 2 inches of unbraided yarn below the knot.

Braids:
(Use Color C – Dusty Blue) **You will see that in one of my photos the braids are done in Color A – Ducky. You can choose whatever combination that you like.
Braid #1
1. If using one color, cut 12 24-inch lengths of yarn.

3. If using two colors, cut 6 24-inch lengths of yarn in each color.

Pull it from right side to wrong side. Put the other end of the yarn group through the loop and pull tightly. The group of yarns is now attached to the earflap.
7. Because you folded the 12 yarn lengths in half, you now have 24 yarns to use to make your braid. Divide the 24 into 3 groups of 8. (You can decide how to divide up the colors. You can just leave them random or divide as you wish.) Braid the yarn until you get to 2 ½ inches from the end of the yarn.

Earflap #2
(Use Color C – Dusty Blue)
****To determine placement of the second earflap, with right side out, fold hat so that first earflap is folded in half and you are looking at the front of the hat. The first earflap will be on the left as you look at the hat. From the fold on the right side of the flattened hat, count 5 stitches to the left (toward the center front of the hat). Place a stitch marker in that stitch. Attach yarn to that stitch. Working on right side of hat and following directions for Earflap #1, complete Earflap #2.
Do Not Fasten off yarn. Continue on to Edging for All Around Hat and Both Earflaps.
Edging for All Around Hat and Earflaps:
Row 12: (Use Color C – Dusty Blue) Sc in each stitch all the way around the hat. Ch 1. Fasten off. Weave in all loose ends on hat.
Braids:
(Use Color C – Dusty Blue) **You will see that in one of my photos the braids are done in Color A – Ducky. You can choose whatever combination that you like.
Braid #1
1. If using one color, cut 12 32-inch lengths of yarn.
2. Place these together in one group. (12 lengths)
3. If using two colors, cut 6 32-inch lengths of yarn in each color.
4. Place these together in one group. (12 lengths)
5. Fold the group in half.
6. With the right side of the earflap facing you and using your crochet hook, pull the folded end of the yarn group through the Ch 2 space in the last row of sc at the bottom of the earflap. Pull it from right side to wrong side. Put the other end of the yarn group through the loop and pull tightly. The group of yarns is now attached to the earflap.
7. Because you folded the 12 yarn lengths in half, you now have 24 yarns to use to make your braid. Divide the 24 into 3 groups of 8. (You can decide how to divide up the colors. You can just leave them random or divide as you wish.) Braid the yarn until you get to 2 ½ inches from the end of the yarn.
8. Cut another length of yarn (in either color) and wrap 3 times around the braid. Pull tight and knot twice to hold braid from unraveling. Trim bottom of braid leaving approximately 2 inches of unbraided yarn below the knot.
Braid #2
Repeat directions used to make Braid #1.

Hi! I’m So Glad You’re Here!!

My Designs are on LoveCrafts!
I’m on Ravelry
Love these! Thank you for making it so simple and easy to read.
I do have one question, what is that you have on the inside of the hat? I love to crochet hats, but they never seem warm enough for our Midwest winters, and I've been wanting to figure out how to add a layer of fabric on the inside of my mats.
This is great and I'd like to make one. My problem is that I have crochet a lot, but I hav never used a pattern. I am wondering what hdc means and all the other references that I am unfamiliar with. Is there somewhere that explains that to me?
HDC = Half Double Crochet
In the child age 3-10 pattern, you forgot to put where to change back to the colour a from colour b.
Love how my hat turned out with this pattern! Just wondering if you have posted the fleece liner instructions? I can't seem to find them. Thanks!
vous avez de tres beau minions .comment avoir le patron . es ce que vous avez des patron de chouette j ignore comment vous envoyer mon adresse je vous remercie de m envoyer sur facebook mercie
you refer to using "magic circle" for the beginning of each hat..i'm just wondering what is the "magic circle" ??
The magic circle is a great way to start your hat. Please take a look at the Tutorials section of my blog. There you will find the video tutorial for making the Magic Circle. Thanks for asking!
Chris
It is a fleece lining! Directions for adding it will be coming to my blog soon! And, it really does make the hat so much warmer and snuggly!!
Chris
If you just Google any term that you don't understand, you will find all kinds of information to help you!! Best Wishes!!!
Chris
Haven't posted that tutorial yet, but, coming to the blog soon!!
thanks i found how to do it… on the child 3-10 years pattern u forgot to mention where to end with the black and start the yellow again ,before starting the blue…??
The color change back to Color A – Ducky has been included in the Child 3 – 10 years pattern. Sorry for the mistake. Thanks for your patience!
Chris
Thank you so much for this pattern.
I can no longer keep count of the number of times that I've used this pattern, everyone loves minions! It is a great pattern, I love it and I can't thank you enough for sharing it 🙂
Thank you so much!
You are truly awesome.
Christine….a quick question: Is the measurement of the hat height…is it measured for the height of the hat only or to the tip of the earflap? The body of my hat looks way too short for the measurement given ( I crochet with a loose tension too!), or to follow any other online hat size chart….I think I'm going to have to add several rows…unless the height you list on the pattern is including the earflaps!
This comment has been removed by the author.
I also found that the instructions for size 3-10 years is too short despite my loose crocheting. I'm making it for my three year old nephew and I tried it on my two year old daughter (who has a smaller head for her age) and it just barely fits her. I'm going to make another one and this time I'm going to add at least two or three HDC rows of the ducky color.
Other than the size discrepancy it is a nice pattern nonetheless. Thanks for sharing!
Whenever I have some free time, I visit blogs to get some useful info. Today, I found your blog with the help of Google. Believe me; I found it one of the most informative blog. buy youtube likes
Thank you for this pattern, my grandson will love it!!
(I did notice that on the teen/adult pattern, Round 10-13 you wrote..
DO NOT fasten off yarn. Fasten off yarn… I know it would be to fasten off.
It is an informative post.
