How to Crochet a Large Ear Warmer

You can use any color or style of yarn to make your ear warmer.

A warm and cosy accessory, especially for chilly fall or winter days, ear warmers are quick and straightforward to crochet. Ear warmers are a stylish alternative to wearing a hat and are an ideal way to avoid scruffy "hat hair" on a cold day. This pattern is easily adaptable and can be made wider or narrower, depending on your preference. Try adding a bow or flower to your finished ear warmer for added detail, or keep it simple and refined.

Things You'll Need

• 1 skein, medium weight wool
• Size H crochet hook
• Yarn needle

Instructions

1. Chain 12 stitches.

2. Half double crochet stitch in the second chain from the hook. Continue half double crochet stitching in each chain stitch across the row.

3. Continue working in half double crochet stitch. Chain two at the end of each row. Continue stitching until your headband is long enough to fit around your head. Fasten off.

4. Thread your yarn needle and sew the two ends of your ear warmer together. Weave in any remaining ends.
