Repeats for Both Versions

Rows 9 – 36 (40, 44, 48, 52) (56, 60, 64):

Repeat Rows 5-8.

Check the final width measurement of the earwarmer and add more/less rows, in an even row count, if needed. Then go to seaming.

Joining the Ends

We are going to do a seam that creates the twist in the ear warmer. While this fabric is reversible, start by laying the ear warmer in front of you with the right side facing.

Then, in your left hand, create a ‘C’ with the left end side of the ear warmer. With your right hand, create a backward ‘C’ with the right side of the ear warmer.

Now join the ‘C’ shapes together as shown below.

Next, using your tapestry needle, seam through all ear warmer edge layers, securing tightly. Once seamed, weave in the end, then flip inside out.

Finishing

Weave in any stray ends. If desired, attach a personalized tag and wear.

Stay warm and cozy all season long with your new crocheted earwarmer! Not only does this charming accessory keep the cold at bay, but it also adds a pop of color to your winter wardrobe. Crocheted winter accessories like hats and earwarmers are fun and thoughtful projects that you can easily make for your friends and family, ensuring they stay snug, too.

Imagine the smiles on their faces when you gift them their own handmade gift, perfect for chilly outings. Spread warmth this winter with your own crocheted creations like the Quick & Easy Knit-look Earwarmer (coordinating Hat and Mitten patterns are also available) or the Traveling Vine Earwarmer!

Cheers, and happy crocheting!
