Of all of the things I’ve ever made, the project that gets the most compliments, hands down, are the earflap hats that I knit for my daughters. Everywhere we go it seems, people rave about how cute they are. I’ve also noticed that I get a ton of blog traffic from people who are looking for a baby/kids’ earflap hat pattern. It didn’t take much dinking to convert the adult pattern I use to kids’ sizes, in fact I’ve done it for a lot of people, I’d just never written it all up.
What follows is a version for DK weight yarn — I’ll eventually get a worsted version up too.
Size: Newborn (Infant, Li’l Kid)
(These are roughly 14″, 16″, and 18″ around, for heads a wee bit larger than those measurements.)
Supplies:
- about 50g of DK weight yarn (I used KnitPicks Merino Style — less than one skein for the newborn size — but you can use any yarn that knits to gauge. RYC Cashsoft DK would be perfect!)
- at least three DPNs and a matching 16″ circular needle (I used US6, but again, you can use whatever knits to gauge)
- one stitch marker
Gauge: 19 sts = 4″ in stockinette stitch (5 sts/inch is probably close enough!)
Ear Flaps
CO 7 stitches.
Row 1: K1, P to last stitch, K1.
Row 2: K1, Kfb, K to last 2 stitches, Kfb, K1.
Repeat these two rows until there are 15 stitches on the needles.
Knit straight until piece measures 2.75″ (3″, 3.25″).
Cut yarn, leaving a 12″ tail, and leave the earflap on its DPN.
Repeat for second ear flap.
Hat
Using a cable cast on, CO 10 (12, 14) stitches on the circular needle. Knit the 15 stitches from first ear flap, then CO 24 (27, 30) stitches. K15 from second ear flap, then CO 10 (12, 14).
(Confused? Here’s a video that shows what I’m talking about!)
Join, being careful not to twist stitches, place marker and begin knitting in the round. As you knit around this first row, you’ll notice four gaps, on either side of each ear flap. When you get to those, K2tog to close them up. At the end of the round, you should have 70 (77, 84) stitches on the needles.
Continue knitting all rounds until hat measures 3″ (3.5″, 4″) from the cast-on row. (Rows 4-12 would be a great place for colorwork!) Then begin the decreases as follows, switching to DPNs or two circs (video here) when the diameter of the hat is too small for your circular needle:
(Decrease) Row 1: *K8 (9, 10), K2tog*
Row 2: K all sts
(Decrease) row 3: *K7 (8, 9), K2tog*
Row 4: K all sts
(Decrease) row 5: *K6 (7, 8), K2tog*
Row 6: K all sts
Decrease in this manner until there are 35 sts on the needles.
Then decrease in the same manner, omitting the “k all sts” rows, until there are 7 sts remaining.
Pull yarn through the last 7 sts with a tapestry needle, pull through to inside and weave in end.
Finishing
Weave in all ends. (I like to leave the tails where I ended the earflaps long so that I can use them to tighten up of otherwise correct anything that looks wonky around the earflap join area.)
There are a few ways you can add straps — pick up 3-4 sts and knit in garter stitch or seed stitch until desired length. OR pick up 3-4 stitches and knit i-cord until desired length. OR, thread through three long pieces of yarn and braid the double-strands until desired length, then tie off and trim.
Block and lay flat to dry.
(While you could absolutely use an acrylic or other non-blockable yarn for the hat, your earflaps might be a little curly. 😉 )
This pattern is and always will be free! If you extra-specially love it and can’t quite find the words to say thanks, you can always give me a dollar. 😉

Hi Julie!
My sister is making one of your Earflap Hats for her daughter, and now both of my girls would like one, too. Their heads measure 21″. Can you please advise as to how to adjust the pattern to fit? We think it would be super cute if all 3 kiddos were rockin’ one of your hats!
Thanks!

I’ve been making hats similar to yours for years, out of worsted weight in a toddler size. My earflaps start with 3 sts and work up to 17, and the result is a little less like a chullo. I tend to bore easily, so my hats often have colorwork or other patterning, and sometimes I make bell tassels (crocheted, with little jingle bells encased to prevent unintentional swallowing). I use a single crochet to finish the edge around the hat, then a second row with crochet chain straps. If I can find one (they tend to leave with kidlets), I’ll send you a photo.

I am fairly new to knitting (about 3 months now). My sister has twins on the way (boy & girl) so I’ve been pretty busy with sweaters, hats a blankets.. I would love to try the infant pattern, but just one simple question. What is DK yarn? I’m used to knitting with Carron’s Baby Soft yarn, will that work? Thanks for the pattern! I’m eager to try

I am knitting for my 8 1/2 mth old granddaughter so are going to knit the largest size & also use double strands of a baby 4 ply mixed colour wool so that it is lovely & soft. Will let you know how it turns out. The pattern is so simple to follow – its great.

Instead of using dpn’s, you could use one circ and use the ‘magic loop’ method. Then you could use the one circ for the entire thing!:-) Fiber Trends has a great little booklet giving directions on using the magic loop. I love it for socks. For a new knitter, its easier for me, and … NO LADDERS!!! I can’t wait to try this hat!

Denise, tough call! The chart at yarnstandards.com has 16″ listed for toddler head circumference…but if you want to be on the safe side (too big vs. too small) you could always knit the middle size with worsted weight on US8 needles. I tend to eyeball things…but in this case it would be a good idea to get a head measurement if you can. 🙂

I love this design and will try to make one for my 1 y/o son at the size for an 18″ head. Only… I’d like to use a different yarn and it knits up at a gauge of 4 stitches/inch. Do you think following the infant-sized instructions will result in an appropriate sized hat?
Thanks!!
October 15, 2007 at 11:30 am
Julie
Using the instructions for the smallest size and a yarn that knits 4 sts/inch should yield a hat that’s about 17″ — in theory! 😀 If your son has a 18″ head then that should be about right.

Thank you! This pattern is exactly what I was looking for. Some crazy lady in Texas freaked out at my sister today for not having a hat on her 6 month old baby. We’re from Upstate New York. Ain’t no reason for hats in Texas unless they get 4 feet of lake effect snow in 3 hours. Then we, in Upstate, consider putting on a hat.
Anyway, I’m making a hat for the kid so the crazy lady won’t go after my sister again. Thanks!

If I’m knitting this for a 10-12 month old should I make it for “infant” or “little kid”?
Thanks!
November 21, 2007 at 11:34 am
Julie
Sasha, personally I’d rather take a chance and err on the side of being too big and use the little kid size. Their head size growth really slows down in the toddler years, so even if it’s a tad roomy to start with, they’ll get a ton of use out of it going forward. I made my kids’ hats when they were 2 and 5, and this will be their third winter wearing them. 🙂

Hi! I love this pattern, did the ear flaps, cast ons, all following g your you tube video which was great! When I went to join on circ, I had the right amount of stitches but the 16″ circ was just too long to join and knit in the round….. It must be something very simple I am doing wrong, because everyone else is knitting these hats up just fine! I hope this gets to you and would love some help! Thank you thank you!

My son (9 weeks old this week) had surgery on his head a few weeks ago, and we needed some hats for him to wear to cover his big, gnarly scar. The incision went down to ear level, so we needd to make sure it had earflaps, too. Lo and behold, I stumbled across your pattern. I’ve made 4 hats in the last 4 weeks, including this one (http://a884.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/51/l_4c526b5c38d68d51ffb058c765f265eb.jpg), which included one tiny cone, some pillow stuffin, white felt and a googly eye from the craft store. Thank you for a FANTASTIC pattern.

August 29, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Bonnie
Hi Julie – I’m a very new knitter – like I taught myself about a month ago. 🙂
I love this hat and am trying to follow your pattern. This will obviously be a novice question…
For the start of the ear flaps, you knit alternating rows of pearl and knit stitches (until you get to 15). Then after that the pattern says to “knit straight”. I’m assuming that means knit each row, and not alternating knit and pearl rows. However, when I do that the rows start to look different.
I have the same problem when I start knitting in the round on the circular needle. Are you supposed to knit the rows only and not alternate knit and pearl? Because when I do that my rows don’t look like your pattern.
The picture looks like it alternates, but the pattern doesn’t seem to say that.
Thanks!
September 15, 2008 at 10:54 pm
paperseed
I am also a new knitter trying out this pattern, and I noticed the same thing as Bonnie (in the comment above). Now that I’ve already knit the full row, it doesn’t look as if it matches.
September 15, 2008 at 11:35 pm
Julie
I e-mailed Bonnie directly with my answer (oops! should have posted it here earlier!):
When you’re knitting flat, you knit one row then purl one row (stockinette stitch). When you join into the round, then you knit every round. “Knit straight” refers to the shaping…i.e. continue knitting without increasing or decreasing the number of stitches you have on the needles.
Hope that helps! 🙂

HI, I really love the look of the pattern but would like to do it in a worsted yarn. As I am a novice I have no idea how to change a pattern for different yarns. Have you got round to doing a worsted weight pattern yet ? and if not how can I change this pattern accordingly ?
September 28, 2008 at 9:48 am

I 2nd or 3rd, or what ever number we are on. This hat looks awesome! Now all I have to do is figure out how to knit it. The yarn that I have chosen is a worsted weight cotton and the sweet babe’s head is about 17 inches. I’ve worked with this yarn in the round before and my gauge was about 5 per inch. Do you have any suggestions? Also I’m new and super excited to try the cable cast on, it looks wickedly fun!
October 27, 2008 at 7:26 am

Can anyone suggest a length for the straps? I keep thinking I have it long enough but I’m not really sure lol. I cord is a pain and I’m just ready to be done!
Love the pattern thank you so much for forcing me to learn cable cast on. The hat is perfect! I knit it with worsted weight wool yarn and used size 7 needles and the lil kid size. Made an 18 ” hat that fits my 1 year old perfectly! I see many more of these in my future, knit up quickly in one day.

Hi, I have some yarn that the gauge is 4 sts=1″ #10, I want to make this hat for my 18 month old daughter. Her head is (47.5 cm) 18 1/2 inches. I believe that I should follow the instructions for the smallest size, outlined above. Is this correct? Also, should I stick with the size 10 needles, as is the gauge on the yarn. Not sure if you are familiar with it, I am planning on using Blossom. Thanks so much, can’t wait to get started!
October 27, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Julie
Heather, I usually make my straps about 6 inches long. My kids don’t tie them though…if you think the wearer will tie them, I’d make them a few inches longer. 🙂
Lisa, that’s what I would do…stick with US10s and the smallest numbers…that should yield a hat that’s 17.5″ around, which IMHo is a good amount of negative ease for a hat. You’ll want to start the decreases closer to 4″, though, as per the instructions for the largest size.

Hi Julie,
Thanks for sharing this cute pattern. I am a beginner knitter and I just started on the earflaps tonight. I have a question: after I get to 15 stitches, you say “knit straight.” Does this mean you knit every row so you end up with a garter stitch? Or do you knit one row, purl one row, so you end up with a stockinette stitch? The picture looks like stockinette stich. Please help…I am confused! Thanks so much!
November 15, 2008 at 10:59 pm
Julie
Dianne, by “knit straight” I mean no increases or decreases…just continue in stockinette stitch, knitting the right-side rows and purling the wrong-side rows. 🙂
November 16, 2008 at 10:09 am
Dianne
Great! Thank you. One more question: on the purl rows, should I still knit the first stitch, then purl the rest of the row and knit the last stitch? Thanks for your help – I am truly a beginner!

Love the pattern, but I did have some trouble I hope you can advise me on.
When I connected the earbobs to the hat, I had the RS of the ears facing me like in the video. Sadly, I didn’t TURN the project to cast on from the other side, and as I cast on additional stitches, added the 2nd earbob, and joined and knitted in the round, I found my RS of the earbobs and the RS of the hat didn’t match — in other words, RS of ears were facing out, RS of hat was facing in. UGH!
Can you tell me if me not turning the project was the cause of this? Because in my head, that shouldn’t have made a difference. 🙂 I’m getting ready to start a new set of earbobs to try again, and would love to find out if it was just my lack of turning that caused my woes.

I knit two earflap hats for my two-year old grandson in the largest size which are beautiful. Everyone comments on them. I have one suggestion, though. I found that the flaps are a bit far forward and the hat might fit better if a few stitches Maybe six or so) were removed from the back of the hat and added to the front since there is more head circumference in front of the ears than behind.

Carol, if you select the text of the pattern with your mouse, then click “print” in your browser, one of the options in your print dialog box should say “print selection.” if you choose that it will only print the text that you have highlighted. 🙂

I’m very glad to find this pattern. I’ve been looking for one for my grandchildren that had ear flaps, and it’s not easy to find. One question: what is “i-cord” (you mention it in adding straps–“pick up 3-4 stitches and knit i-cord until desired length”). If this is what’s shown in your picture, I’d be very interested in knowing how it’s done. Thank you.

Helen, if you go to this page:
http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/knitting-tips
and scroll down almost to the bottom, you’ll see a description and video showing how to knit i-cord. She explains it much better than me 🙂

I should add, though, that in the photo above, I made twisted cord for the straps. Very cute and easy! Instructions here:

Thanks for the great pattern! My gauge is 5.5 stitches/inch and I am knitting for a 6 month old – do you have a suggestion on which set of instructions to follow?
Thanks!

I’ve come across a few ear flap hat patterns but this one looks great and I can’t wait to try it out! Only problem is we are in Melbourne, Australia and we’re about to head into summer…doh! 😦
Will still try it out though and hopefully make them big enough to fit my boys next winter. They’ll be 3.5 yrs and 2.5 yrs old then so hopefully I can make them big enough! I’ll also have a newborn by then though so however it turns out it fit at least one of them!!

I was looking for an infant ear flap hat that wasn’t too bulky to wear under the snowsuit, this looks like it’s the one, but what is a DPN>?
October 17, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Julie
DPN = double-pointed needle
KFB = knit front and back, an increase
this is a wonderful glossary of knitting terms…

Wow, this hat is great! I made it and blocked it out and it looks wonderful on my 9 month old. Thank you for posting this pattern! I think I’m going to make a pom pon to go on top. I’ll forward you a picture when I’m finished.

I love the look of this pattern! A friend asked me to make an earflap hat for her 2 yo granddaughter. She brought me the yarn, already, and it’s worsted weight. Do you have suggestions for making this hat with worsted weight instead of DK? Thank you very much for your time.

I love this hat too! New to knitting and would like to make this for a newborn but would love the worsted wool pattern. You mentioned that you would have one up, is it somewhere on the website that I am missing? Thanks so much!

thanks so much for this wonderful pattern! i made it for my brand new grandson. the instructions were clear and easy to follow, and it turned out great!
i’d love to have this pattern in a worsted weight, too.
thanks again!

Can you tell me if this pattern can be done on two needles? I don’t know how to knit with circulars and I can’t find a pattern out there for this on two needles. Thanks!
November 4, 2009 at 3:49 pm
kelly
can u tell me if possible to use strictly dpns for entire hat? any cautions?
kelly
November 4, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Julie
@Nery….I’m sorry, I’m not aware off the top of my head of a similar pattern on two needles. You should really consider learning to knit on circs — it’s not scary at all! 😉 There are great videos at knittinghelp.com that can help you get started.
@kelly…yes, if you’re a fan of DPNs, go ahead and knit the whole thing on them….there’s no reason not to. I’m not a fan! I find knitting on 1 or 2 circs much less cumbersome. 😉

Hello Julie – just wanted to check that the little kid size will be ok for a 4 yo. Is this the size you did on 4mm needles for your 5yo which lasted a few winters? It’s a surprise pressie so wld be great if I could avoid asking for a head measurement! Apologies if you have already answered a similar question and thanks for your help!
November 6, 2009 at 11:56 am
Julie
Mel, yes, that was the size — in my experience their head size doesn’t change much for a few years once they hit 2 or 3. My kids were 2 and 5, I think, when I made their first matching hats and they wore them for three winters.
November 6, 2009 at 5:45 pm

Julie, have you written the pattern for children in a worsted weight? My two year old grandson has a 19″ head. The yarn I have is worsted wt and knits up at 5 st/inch. Thanks!

This is an extremely cute hat,but I’m having a problem. I have reached the point of decreasing. The pattern states “Decrease in this manner until there are 35 sts on the needles.” What is decrease in this manner? I feel extremely stupid, but am not sure if I should continue knitting one less before K2tog, or not. I’m anxious to finish before visiting my grandson next weekend. Thanks.

What do you mean when you say “knit straight?” I’m new to knitting and really love this type of hat. I’m trying to make it for my 1yo, 3yo, and 5yo. Got any tips?
January 17, 2010 at 8:40 pm

I get it now. Use the stockinette stitch minus the fbs until desired height. Ths though!

Val Parish
Love the pattern! Thank you, Julie.
I used Lana Merino (variegated). Rather than lay flat to dry, I use a balloon. Blow up a small round one to a size smaller than the hat, put the hat over the balloon and continue to blow the balloon until the circumference is what you want.

Thanks for sharing this great pattern! I made a gorgeous little hat with cashmerino yarn for my little muse. It’s one of my fave projects I’ve done so far, pretty easy to change into a flat pattern (which I prefer knitting). It looks so professional! I will be making another for next winter.

Help. On the baby/kids earflap pattern (above, purple) it says “Kfb” on Row 2 of the earflap. What is that? I’ve been knitting since Christmas 2009, after decades of crochet. Terminology baffles me at times. Thanks. Jane
June 9, 2010 at 9:55 pm

Wow! Never mind! I saw in the posts where someone else asked and got an answer of the term “Kfb”. Thank you for the link to knit term glossary! That is fantastic. Thank you so much! Jane

I cable cast on, added the first ear flap. Followed the video turning the wrong side and continued the cable cast on, then added the next ear flap and turned the piece to the wrong side for the last cable cast on stitches. I then started to knit in the round but find that the wrong side is facing me, therefore if I knit it will show up as purl on the wrong side. What did I do wrong? Confused. Thanks for your help.

I finished the hat but the edges are curling up. Will this go away once I block the hat?

Hi Julie. Thanks for this awesome hat pattern. I’ve used it quite a few times. I do have one question. I’m making this hat in a worsted weight yarn for a head that measures 17 and 3/4 ins. I was wondering what size hat I should make as well as what would I need to change from the Dk weight pattern to do it in Worsted. Thanks.
December 11, 2010 at 10:45 pm
Nancy
Beautiful design. I’m using Debbie Bliss cashmerino (to avoid the itchiness and the curling problem) but I wonder if the yarn is too fine, after seeing your video. My gauge is 5 sts. = 1 inch using US 7 needles, but the lil’ kids size looks small for my 20″ -headed granddaughter. Any ideas? Should I give up on this yarn or knit with it doubled?
Thank you for your kindness. Did you ever think that creating a pattern would turn into a full-time job?
December 12, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Jenny
Hi,
I am knitting your hat with earflaps, large infant size. I have just finished adding the earflaps and am counting my stitches but something doesn’t add up. I was wondering if you could clarify. On the pattern, it says I should have 84 stitches on my needles, but if I do the math (and count my stitches) it should add up to 88. It’s 14 stitches cast on + 15 stitches for earflap 1 + another 30 stitches cast on + 15 stitches from earflap 2 + the last 14 stitches cast on (14+15+30+15+14= 88).
Thanks for helping me out with this. Can’t wait to finish the hat for my daughter!
December 12, 2010 at 9:34 pm

Hi Jenny, I responded to the other comment you left on the “who me?” page — look there for the answer =)

I agree that the “knit straight” is confusing to new knitters, but I looked at the picture and figured out to knit one row and purl the next row with a B1 on each end. So far, this is an easy pattern and I am enjoying making it. I will post to my dusty blog when I am done. I cannot wait to finish it up!!!!
Thank you for your generosity!!!

This hat is adorable and I am making one for my friend’s grandson. I made a few changes and just realized a mistake I made and hope you can help me. Since I am using worsted/medium yarn and size 7 needles, I changed the ear flaps so they were all garter stitch – no rolling! Then I cast on as instructed and started knitting in a K2 P2 rib. I am moving along nicely but realize I have 86 stitches on my needle and not 84! I realized that the back of the hat would have one wider rib (k4), but it looked cute so I just kept on knitting. What could I have been counting from the start! ARGH!!! Now that I have gone through the trouble of changing the pattern but messing up the number of sts, can you help me calculate the decrease or should I be ok following what you instructed? Gosh I am so sorry! If this turns out, I will post the picture!
January 12, 2011 at 10:14 am
Julie
Lyn, the round before you start the decreases, just decrease two stitches (wherever!). Then you’ll have a multiple of 12 stitches, and can start the decreases as written (*K10, K2tog* and so on).

Thankyou for the pattern – I knitted it up this weekend for my nine month old. (I under-estimated how big his head was, so added a bit of extra rib at the back) Really like the style though – will knit up a bigger size soon. Thanks again for sharing!

Hi! So….for the last two days I’ve attempted to knit this hat – it’s been a while since I’ve knitted – I’m on the beginner + side of things – the pattern is awesome, totally understandable, and awesome with the you tube video – however, I’ve been having the same problem as two of the commenters above but saw no response posted: I keep ending up with my ear flaps right side out and the hat part wrong side out (the v’s facing in) – if that makes sense. I’ll admit to knitting the flaps on regular needles (didn’t have that particular size DP’s) but none of this really should have made a difference. When casting on and knitting the flaps to the circular – the flaps faced right side out, everything seemed perfect except the hat part. Perhaps the response is too lengthy or difficult to explain here – if so, I would at least like to thank you for the pattern and your care of answering questions and being so helpful!! 🙂

Janet – I am so thrilled with your pattern! Just this week I received an email from the recipient with a picture of her baby wearing the cute hat I knit for her! How could anyone be happier? I have really become an avid beginning knitter (attending a local class at Ben Franklin once a month since only February of this year) and before that just scarves! I had to redo the ear flaps a couple of times and restart the hat on the circular needles once when I had put my knitting down and when I took it up again I went in the wrong direction (UGH!) BUT, I calmly reread your directions, unraveled the cast on on the circular needle and now I know that there is this darling baby girl in Boston wearing my/your hat! Thanks, again.

Hi Julie,
I am also a beginner. I somehow ended up with 82 stitches on my yarn instead of 84. I am also confused about how to do the decreases. Are you supposed k10 k2t and then repeat this pattern until the end of the line or as long as it allows?

Julie, this hat is beautiful!
Making it with Patons’ Astra, a DK yarn, on size 8. It looks awesome for my 3 year old granddaughter. No problems to report!!!
But I do have one…my son and his wife have asked me to make them both the same hat. My son’s head is 22.5 inches, my DIL’s head is barely 21 inches and to make it even more of a challenge, the yarn they choose is a bulky weight fleece.
I have just one word for you…HELP!!!
Thanks again for this lovely pattern and I am sorry to throw such a curve at you.

Hey! More snow! | My Blog
[…] And yet another snow for the kids. This is the 5th in 4 weeks, and the last of the ones we had built into the calendar. We have a lot of snow on the ground, but the roads are clear and the driveway’s clear. We finally bought a snowblower this year. We moved here in January of ’08, and we have a long and steep driveway. We’ve done a lot of shoveling; we had a plow service one year to the tune of several hundred dollars, and now, the snowblower. I *love* it. We specifically got one that I can manage. I am, to be fair, a gadget-lovin’ woman. I like gear, it’s just my nature. But this makes it totally doable to clear the driveway, and since we just another foot and a half of snow, it needed clearing a couple of times. ANYWAY. I’m pretty sure no one cares about my joy in clearing my driveway. I’ve been massively productive today. I’ve got about 25 pairs of socks to make (yes, that’s right, I am truly crazy) and I got 7 done. I also finished the Ear Flap Hat. […]

Right i have adjusted this pattern.
Ear flaps i removed all purl and just knitted. Prevents the flaps curling.
I also added a rib to the bottom which stops curling up of hat at bottom cast on edge. I knitted flaps in 4mm changed to 3.75 for ribbing then back to 4 for rest of hat.
I also added i-cords co 5 stitches and icord to desired length then added pompoms to top of hat and bottom of the cords.
This pattern is great as a starter

My niece asked me to make her a hat for her newborn portrait. I need to add a large green and a large orange stripes for Miami University football with orange and green tassels on the earflaps? Can you help me out? Thanks in advance

I’m making 2 of these for a 4 y/o and a 2 month old (in red with thing 1 and thing 2 on them – SO CUTE) – should I add a few stitches to the lil kid size to make it fit the 4 y/o do you think?

This is seriously great that you had videos to this because I would have been lost but the second video doesn’t work and I desperately need that second video because I have no idea how to move from circular needles to Dpn. Please if there is any way to get that second video I would seriously appreciate it. I have been all over pinterest and YouTube trying to figure out how to make a baby hat with ear flaps and your instructions are perfect! If you can’t do the video when. I switch to dpn’s do I have to habe an even amount of stitxhes on each Dpn?

Welcome everyone ! I’m Kelsie Davenport.
Even though I jokingly credit my aunt for my writing talent, I know that it is a talent I have fostered from childhood. Though my mother is a writer, I also started out young.
I’ve always had a way with words, according to my favorite educator. I was always so excited in English when we had to do a research paper .
Now, I help current pupils achieve the grades that have always come easily to me. It is my way of giving back to students because I understand the troubles they must overcome to graduate.
