This Faux Trapper Hat from Bernat Yarns is great for those late winter nights.  Not only does it keep your head warm, but the flaps fold down and protect your ears from the cold!  Faux fur trapper hats are so fun to wear and easy to make with this crochet pattern!

love Love LOVE this hat but the pattern directions and amount of skeins of yarn to buy is not enough. Nowhere near enough so it'll look like the photo.

I finished tonight the Faux Trapper Hat and was very disappointed because the directions are for someone with a very small head or a child. I used a smaller hook: a 10mm, for I crochet loosely. When I got where I was to put on the flaps, I was at the end of the recommended 2 ball to buy and it would not fit over my head. Had to unravel and redo it again and the nap on the yarn was totally altered, it didn't even look like fur anymore and when I got to the part to add the flaps I had just enough to finish ear and front flaps, but they were tiny. Not like in the photo. I should have listened to my gut when I ordered my yarn when it said order 3 balls of yarn, not 2.
