I found this spreadsheet on creating earflap hats on the loom. It has a basic formula where you plug in numbers to create an earflap hat.
The file also has some of the most popular hat numbers in the loom knitting industry along with the earflap width, front gap and back gap.
Enjoy!
Formula to Loom Knit Earflap Hats
Don't feel like doing the math? No worries. Enter your own number and let the generator provide you with the numbers you need.
Thanks Isela! My daughter loves these hats!

I love the use of cables for the ear flaps. Do you have this pattern?
Also I will forever be using the calculation table!!

The hat is from the Loom Knitting Cables booklet. It is only available through the booklet.
Thanks :)

i wanna say that pattern is in her cable knitting book. I have always admired it- but i have tried ear flaps twice and both times it bombed bad. Oh and her cable knitting book is awesome- it is my bible for doing cable on a loom.

That is the exact hat I've been trying to master. I just can't get cables down but I will not give up. I simply knit tight and I can't stop myself.
Thank you for the chart!
