Skiing hat with celtic motifs

As I baught new skiis I needed a new hat as well.
I thought this celtic motif was perfect for my hat. Knitting it from the center was a challenge for me.

The first round is 8 stiches (2 on each needle). Every next round you make 3 stiches from the corner stiches. This is the chart:


When the chart was over the circuit of the hat was luckily exactly my size. :) Then I had to knit just stright ahead.
Another celtic motif on the ears:


Fixing the endings of the yarns inside (you will have large amount of endings if you do colourwork knitting around):

Knitting another layer inside (I wanted double layers to make it cosy):

This is the result:



It is original and my ears don's freeze!
