The Ear warmer is worked by holding together 2 strands of yarn. 1 Strand of Swish and 1 strand of Aloft. The band is worked in long rows then seamed to form a headband. The pattern is written for the smallest size with larger sizes in parentheses ( ). Turning ch counts as a stitch.

Ear Warmer:

Toddler (Child, Adult, Large Adult)

Band:

Row 1 (RS):

Ch 54 (58, 62, 66), work 1 hbdc in 3rd ch from hook and in each ch across, turn—52 (56, 60, 64) sts.

Row 2:

Ch 2 (included as a st here and throughout), sk first st, work 1 hbdc in next st and in each st across, turn—52 (56, 60, 64) sts.

Row 3:

Ch 2, sk first st, work 1 hbdc in next st and in each st across, work the last hbdc in turning ch, turn—52 (56, 60, 64) sts.

Rep Row 3 until work measures 3.75 (4.5, 6, 6)” ending on RS of work. Fasten off with a tail for seaming.

Finishing:

With RS facing pinch each end of the band in the centre.

The left side upper piece of fold goes between the center fold of the right side. The right side lower piece of fold goes between the centre fold of left. With a yarn needle seam all 4 pieces together. Weave the yarn back to the start of the seam and knot ends together. Weave ends and trim.

Flip the band to the RS so seaming is on the inside of the headband.

Add a garment tag for a personalized touch. Leather rivets are available HERE.
