Description disclaimer: i am aware this is not canon-accurate. it's my own design inspired by the original
disclaimer 2: idk much about yarn weights or size charts. this is by no means a professional pattern. i'm just writing down what i did incase someone wants to do it too

tools & materials:
circular knitting needles (i used 3,5mm)
a crochet hook (for the edging, mine is 4,5mm)
a sewing needle
blue, orange, red and yellow yarn (i'm unsure of how much exactly is needed, but it's less than a ball each)
8 stitch markers (it doesn't have to be anything fancy, i literally used safety pins)

abbreviations used:
r[n] - row number
k - knit
p - purl
mk1r - make one right (tutorial)
mk1l - make one left (tutorial)
k2tog - knit two stitches together (tutorial)
ssk - slip, slip, knit (tutorial)

ear flaps (make 2):
cast on 7 stitches
r1: p7
r2: p1, mk1r, k untill 2 stitches before the end of the row, mk1l, p1
r3: k1, p until 1 stitch before the end, k1
repeat rows 2 and 3 for 12 rows (you should have 21 stitches by then)
r4: k1, p until 1 stitch before the end, k1
r5: p1, k until 1 stitch before the end, p1
repeat rows 4 and 5 for 10 rows
do not cast off

hat:
(tip: when knitting on circular needles, place a stitch marker at the beggining of the row)
put the 1st ear flap on circular needles, cast on 18 stitches, put the 2nd flap on, cast on 28 stitches
knit for 35 rows
r36: *k11, place stitch marker*, repeat between ** until the end of the row
r37: *k untill 2 before stitch marker, k2tog, put stitch marker on right needle*, repeat between ** until the end of the row
r38: k whole row
repeat rows 37 and 38 for 20 rows (you should have 8 stitches left)
cast off, leave a tail and sew up the top 

horns (make 4):
cast on 15 stitches with red yarn
r1-r5: k
r6: k2tog, k13, ssk
switch to orange yarn
r7-r9: k
r10: k2tog, k11, ssk
r11: k
r12: k2tog, k9, ssk
switch to yellow yarn
r13: k
r14: k2tog, k5, ssk
r15: k
r16: ktog, k3, ssk
r17: k
r18: k2tog, k1, ssk
cast off

sew together 2 horn peices and stuff them with scrap yarn/stuffing, then sew onto hat (i recommend pinning it first, so you're sure of the placement)

stars (make 4):
stars were made following this pattern, exept i purled uneven rows (1, 3, 5, ect)
sew 2 stars together, purl side out. stuff them with scrap yarn/stuffing

border:
with a crochet hook and orange yarn, crochet a border around the edges of the hat. this is opional but makes the edges not curl up. i don't know much about crochet so i can't rlly explain this part

chain about 30 stitches with a crochet hook and make a border around the stars. do this twice for both ear flaps

if y'all have any questions lmk in the comments and i'll try to answer!! :3
