Bouncy Bubbly Ear Warmer Headband
Crochet this ear warmer headband to any width and circumference as you like. It is worked in rows and then joined together at the ends, which makes it super easy to customize for all sizes from baby to adult large.
My favorite thing about this ear warmer headband is the beautiful stretch that you get by working in rows. Mine only has a circumference of about 16″, but it stretches to fit my head perfectly. The stretch not only allows for a comfy fit, but it also brings out a nice lace on the fabric. Plus, it’s got a beautiful texture due to what I like to call the bead stitch.
Because of the thin yarn and the stitch pattern, this ear warmer takes a bit of time to crochet up. However, once you feel how comfortable it is to wear you won’t mind the extra time you spent to make this. The yarn I used is a fine #2 yarn, but choose any yarn and hook you like. However, a different yarn and hook size might not result in the same amount of stretch.
It’s not something that you would wear in extreme winter temperatures, but it’s perfect for fall and spring weather. If you are looking for something a bit more cozy you might want to check out the Charisma crochet ear warmer.
