So Twisted Ear Warmer

This easy ear warmer pattern uses a small amount of fingering-weight yarn and a couple of textured crochet stitches. This is a pattern you can make over and over again.

Although this ear warmer is lightweight, using 100% wool yarn adds some extra warmth.

This pattern uses 160 yards of hand-dyed yarn, but you can use any category #1 or fingering-weight yarn. I’ll add a couple of budget-friendly options, as well as the yarn I used in the materials and information part of the pattern, because I know not everyone has a $30 skein of yarn in their budget.

If you do have a few pretty skeins or partial skeins of sock yarn in your stash, this is a great pattern to use them up.

Notes

This headband is worked flat in rows, twisted once and then seamed together.
Should fit most teen/adult women. If you want to modify the size, you will need to use a multiple of 3 + 1 fhdc sts or a multiple of 3 + 2 if using traditional starting chains
Ch 1 does not count as a stitch
I highly recommend using the foundation half double crochet called for in the pattern, this creates a nice stretchy edge.
