    Free Ear Warmer Pattern

    I had a couple of puzzlers when naming this pattern... I usually call these headbands, but that seems to confuse people if they are larger like this one. The size of this one is really ideal for the cold winter months. So I went with "ear warmer." Also, most of my other patterns are very easy to name. "Fox hat," "penguin hat," "Katniss cowl"... You see what I mean. So I decided to name it after my very gracious, very beautiful sister, Katelyn. (That is her beautiful face in the picture. Thanks Katelyn!)

    You will need...
    Size 4 Worsted Weight Yarn (I love Simply Soft by Caron for headbands! So shiny and soft...)
    Size 5.00 hook
    yarn needle for sewing
    3 matching buttons

    You will need to know how to:
    Chain
    DC (double crochet)
    FPDC (front post double crochet)
    BPDC (back post double crochet)

    See THIS POST to make it in any size that you want!

    If you have made my Katniss Cowl or my Ribs and Ridges Scarf you will be very familiar with these stitches. In fact, this is a great project to get comfortable with the post stitches before you begin that giant scarf!

    More of a visual learner? Check out this VIDEO

    Let us begin.

    Chain 77. (This will be longer than most heads, but the post stitches shrink it down. And we will be overlapping and sewing it together at the end so you need a little room for that.)
    Row 1:In the third stitch from your hook start your first DC. DC in each stitch across.Chain 2 and turn.
    Row 2: DC in first stitch. Then FPDC around the post of the next stitch. Then BPDC. Alternate across. Chain 2 and turn.
    Row 3: DC in every stitch across. Chain 2 and turn.
    Row 4: DC in every stitch across. Chain 2 and turn.
    Row 5: DC in first stitch. Then FPDC around the post of the next stitch. Then BPDC. Alternate across. Chain 2 and turn.
    Row 6: DC in every stitch across. Chain 2 and turn.
    Row 7: DC in every stitch across. Chain 2 and turn.
    Row 8: DC in first stitch. Then FPDC around the post of the next stitch. Then BPDC. Alternate across.

    I like to SC around the edges to give it a nice clean look. The overlap the ends (your nicest looking edge on top!) and using your yarn needle, sew together. Then attach your buttons. I placed mine on each row of post stitches.

    And you are done!

    If you have any questions, pop over to The Friendly Crochet Club! This is the best place if you have any questions!! 

    I am curious though... would you call this an ear warmer or a headband?

    Follow me on Pinterest to see my projects and inspiration. And keep up with me on Facebook! Do you prefer Instagram? (So do I!)

    I do not have a problem with individuals making and selling items using
    this pattern. I do have a problem if you take my photos and the credit:)
    No big deal, just use your own pictures and link back to this page if
    you are selling online! Thanks so much!
