Baby cap, easy

So here is a baby cap with ears flaps. Simple design. I was working with needles no. 2,5.
Take 80 loops
Work in cirkles with 5 needles to make a stretcher: *2 knit 2 Perl* repeat 11 times
8 rows knit
3 rows perl
3 rows knit
3 rows perl
3 rows knit
3 rows perl
34 rows knit
Divide loops equally over the 4 needles. Start reducing the number of loops starting in the middle of each needle like so * take 1 loop without knitting it knitt the next 2 together pool the not knited loop over the resulting loop like a neckles* repeat the reduction oneach needle in each row till you have only 8 loops remaining.
Knitt a rope if you want to make a hanging pompon like I did.

To add ear flaps pick 25 loops on each side is.the cap. Perl 7 rows ant then at the beggining of each row Perl together 2nd and 3 rd loop, continue till you are left with 6 loops. Make a rope od desired length.
