Ear Flap Hats

I have a sudden, unreasonable urge to make a multi-colored (Fair Isle?) ear flap hat -- for myself! Apparently, last Wednesday's snow affected my psyche, since I've always though ear flap hats were pretty dorky!

Has anyone seen a good pattern? I've looked at these from IK, and like the first one best, although I'd have to use girlier colors.

Any other suggestions?

There is a good basic pattern for an ear flap hat in Last Minute Gifts. (page 60, to be exact). The pattern in there is for a striped one - not sure if that would fit your bill or not...I am working on a basic rolled brim hat right now...

I'm no help in the pattern department, but I can say that dorky is OK when it's frickin cold out!

I just saw a cute one online, http://susanbanderson.blogspot.com/2007/11/surefire-hat_24.html
I'd make it for myself but I hate the hat head that results from wearing winter hats. Note to self, make a winter headband. It was a cold walk to work this morning!
