4 or 4,5 mm crochet hook

The hat is worked in rounds. At the end of each row the round is closed with a slip stitch in the first stitch of the row. The new row starts with one or two sc's.
The ears are worked in spirals. The rows are not closed. The new row starts in the first stitch of the previous row.
