Hat with earflaps!

I used size 3 needles for the earflaps and size 5 needles for the hat

Earflaps:
CO 3 (leave a long tail)
Row 1: knit
Row 2: k1, inc in 2nd st, k1
Row 3: knit
Row 4: inc in first st, k2, ins in last st
Row 5,6,7: knit
Row 8: inc 1 in first st, knit until last st, inc 1 in last st
Row 9: knit
Repeat until you have 20 sts on needles
Leave a long tail
*Repeat for the second Earflap

On Size 5 needles CO 18 sts, knit on one of the earflaps, CO another 18 sts, and knit second earflap onto needles.
Now you should have the base of you hat.  I didn't do anything fancy...so knit until the hat is about 4in
You will now start to decrease for the top of the hat.
1st decrease row: Knit 5, k2tog (repeat until end of row)
2nd: Knit
3rd: knit 5, k2tog (repeat until end of row)
4th: Knit
5th: Knit 3, k2tog(repeat until end of row)
6th: Knit
7th: knit 3, k2tog(repeat until end of row)
8th: knit
9th: kni 2, k2tog(repeat until end of row
Repeat 8 and 9 until you have 6 remaining sts
Cut a long tail, and sew through remaining sts, sew up the side seam.

I then added two more strands of yarn to the bottom of the earflaps and braided them together, so if need be I could tie the hat on his head!
