Earflap Hat for all ages

I just finished up another gift for my daughter. It's this cute little earflap hat that really took no time at all. The pattern is free from Neanners Shop and easy enough to follow. I love the braids on either side and I know my little girl will love playing with them as well. Also it comes with directions for sizes newborn-adult so I am thinking hubby and I need matching hats as well... or is that too cheesy?

About the pattern: Instead of working this holding two strands together I worked it with only one and it turned out fine. The main yarn I used was a dusty purple from Lion Brand.
