This crown ear warmer pattern is given in four sizes, but you can easily adjust this to any size you want. It’s a great way to keep your ears warm in the winter, but also can be used as a child’s toy.

I used an off-white and a blue, but a bright yellow with other vibrant colors would make it even more fun for young children. If making this for a child, I would use a thinner yarn and smaller hook to reduce the width a bit. Mine is shown to go over the forehead, but you can make it smaller and wear it on the head. Another thing that you could do is use a fabric stiffener so it’ll maintain its shape if worn on the head.

You might also enjoy this crochet ear warmer or the beaded stripes winter ear warmer. And for something super stretchy and adjustable you might want to check out this ear warmer headband.
