The other day I thought I'd make myself something. I dont like hats because they mess up my hair and scarfs are just to restricting to me so I decided to just make me an earwarmer. I added a button to the back of it so I could easily put it on and lift it off without messing up my hair.
I like the way it turned out.
I guessed at making the flower. Later, I decided to add a pearl bead to accent it.
I cant wait for it to get cold enough to wear it. No, wait, I do not want it to get cold but do want to wear this.
Here is the pattern for this ear warmer for those crafters out there wanting to take on another task. If you can't crochet, I will have a couple of these in My Etsy Shop you can purchase.
1. Chain long enough to fit around your head ( I chained 60 )
2. SC first 10, HDC across leaving 10 at the end, SC last 10, chain 1, turn.
3. Slip stitch 10, HDC across leaving 10, slip stitch in last 10, chain 1 turn
* REPEAT step 2 and 3 until you have the width you want.
4. SC around the band making 2 SC in each corner stitch. Finish off.
5 Apply a button and your done.
I actually made a special crochet stitch at one end for a button hole but its not necessary. You can still get a button in there. You dont even have to add a button. You can just stitch the ends together and make a band. Whatever suits you.
Now add your own bow or flower if you wish.
