Notes

- The number of stitches you should have at the end of each row is the exact number of chains you began with in

your foundation chain row and is represented by - This Ear Warmer Headband pattern uses the Double Strand method (two strands of yarn held together and worked

throughout)

- This pattern is based on individual measurements.

Pattern

Ear Warmer Headband – Use Double Strands of Green and larger hook

Measure the circumference of the head you are making the Ear Warmer for.

Holding BOTH strands of Green together, make a slip knot.

Chain a length that is a few chains shorter than this measurement (when laid against your measuring tape). If you

stretch your foundation chain row, it should easily reach your target measurement. Remember, your work is going

to stretch a bit! It’s best to err on the side of too few stitches than too many.

Count your chains and make note of this number. It will be represented by at the end of each row.

Join your first and last chains with a slip stitch to form a large circle. Try this circle on over the head you are

making it for. It should fit comfortably. If it is too tight, you need to add a few chains to your foundation chain row.

If it is too loose, you must remove some chains.

R1: ch 1, sc into the same ch as joining, sc in each ch around . Do not join with a slip stitch

R2 – R?: sc into the next stitch and into each st around. Pattern is worked in the round without joining rows. Work

each row in sc until the piece measure approximately 7.5cm (3”). If you are making this for a small child, 6 cm

(2.5”) is acceptable. At the end of your last row, slip stitch into the next stitch and fasten off in line with the original

circle joining (easily recognized by the short tails hanging from your slip knot).

Border Rows: with a single strand of Green and your 5.5mm hook, sc into each stitch around the top and bottom

rows. If you feel your Ear Warmer is a little loose, you can use a smaller hook (size 5.00mm) for these rows OR you

can decrease 4 times evenly throughout both rows (sc2tog at each quarter point around).
