Do the other side of the flap. Skipped 24 stitches from the 12th stitch of R1, and attached your Color B.  And Repeat the process from R1 to R11. Fasten off and weave all ends.

Attached Color A at the back of the hat. By the way, the Back of the hat is where the lesser skipped stitches are. Then CH 1 and SC in each stitch including the earflaps. Join with a slip stitch in the first stitch. Optional but highly recommended to crab stitch each stitch using Color A also. Then join with a slip stitch in the first stitch and fasten off and weave all ends.

Alternative Flap for Adult and Small Adult is to use Single Crochet instead of Half Double Crochet. And also changing colors like the main hat.  It would look like the picture below. 

 You can also add some pompom to your hat.

And here are my cute and crazy models.
