• Check out the yarn I used here!

• Check out the crochet hooks I recommend here.

• This earwarmer is worked in rows.

• The ch 1 does NOT count as a stitch. This is the turning chain, and will allow your edges to be nice and straight.

• You’ll need about 30 grams, or 70 yards to make this earwarmer. This means you’ll be able to get a few earwarmers per ball of yarn, making it a great last-minute gift or craft fair idea!

f/o, leaving a 12 inch tail. To seam, bring the two ends together and whip stitch across. I like to do two whip stitches per single crochet stitch. This allows it to be extra durable, and better hidden.

After seaming, cut and weave in your ends. Enjoy!
