Whether you want to have fun or keep warm, this crochet crown ear warmer pattern is here to the rescue! It is perfect for children to play with during dress-up fun and birthday parties.

It can be worn in different ways depending on the reason for wearing it. So you can be sure that you’ll get lots of use out of it.
Finished Sizes
This crochet crown ear warmer pattern is given in 3 sizes: 17, (18.5, 19.5)” in circumference.
The circumference can easily be adjusted to any circumference you want in the multiple provided. Refer to the ear warmer size chart if you’re not able to take measurements of the head circumference.
The width, on the other hand, is not so easy to adjust as you need to complete all the rounds to obtain the crowned look. You can use a different yarn weight to obtain a different width. A thinner yarn and smaller hook size will narrow it down and vice versa.
With that said, as is, the width should be okay for both kids and adults.
For toddlers and babies, you could try using a baby yarn. Simply adjust the circumference as needed and you’ll have a nice photo prop for picture day!
See the images above. The small crown ear warmer is modeled on a 6-month, but it is way too big.
You could even try making this in a thread for small dolls if you want.
The Yarn
Originally, I used Bernat Denimstyle in an off-white and a blue, The yarn has been discontinued. Some leftover Red Heart Comfort seems to be a nice alternative. It is a medium worsted weight yarn, and anything similar will work just as well.
You can experiment with colors using up all kinds of leftovers!

A Few Notes
This crown ear warmer is started off with the correct number of chains to fit comfortably over the head. However, extra stitches are added in the third round. This causes the crown to flare out and doesn’t look right at this point. But don’t worry, in the next round the number of stitches is brought back into speck, As a result, the stitches in the third round kind of form a bubbly or “jeweled” look.
Then once again more stitches are added in the last round. Each point is topped with a simple picot, which can be curled to the outside for a nice crown if you like.
You can stiffen it a bit for the crown to maintain its’ shape if you want.
