Braids
Cut three equal-length strands of yarn, each twice as long as you want the finished braid to be, plus a few extra inches.
Cut three equal-length strands of yarn, each twice as long as you want the finished braid to be, plus a few extra inches.
Thread each strand of yarn into the front edge of the
flap, running each strand through one or two stitches to help fix it
in place. Then run the end of the yarn back out of the hat, near the
entry point. Tug on the ends of the strand until they're even.
Bring all six strands together. Treat both ends of
each long, doubled strand as a single unit as you make a three-strand
braid. You will make each "leg" of the braid with two
strands of yarn instead of just one. Once you're done, secure the end
of the braid with a small, tidy overhand knot and trim the remaining
yarn even. This technique is ideal for adding yarn braids to ear
flaps on a hat. See picture.Eyes, make 2 with black

a magic circle. 6 Hdc in ring, join. End off leaving a long tail for
sewing on.
