Easy Crochet Ear Warmer Pattern

Row 1: FHDC 38. CH 2, Turn. (38)

 *If you are uncomfortable with FHDC, feel free to CH 40, HDC in the 3rd CH and in each ST.*

Row 2: HDC in the BLO in each ST across. CH 2, Turn. (38)

Row 3-6: Repeat Row 2

Finish Off, leaving a long tail to sew headband together. 

Now here comes the twist part!

Lay your rectangle in front of you and fold the right side up. This creates the twist.

Then fold the headband in half, so that your short ends are touching.

Using your yarn needle, sew the two short ends together.

Tuck in those ends, attach a label if you would like and enjoy your new favorite EarWarmer.

To adjust the size, simply FHDC or CH the number of stitches to fit around your head. 

For a child size 20”-21” 

Row 1: FHDC 34. CH 2, Turn.

Rows 2-5: HDC in BLO across. CH 2, Turn. 

Finish off. Twist the headband and sew the ends together!
