Easy Crochet Twisted Ear Warmer For Beginners

December 23, 2021 · Rhelena · Leave a Comment

Here is an easy crochet twisted ear warmer for beginners with two options; one for a striped design and the other for a solid color. In terms of a striped option, you can basically use any color design that you like to.

The twisted ear warmer is perfect for making as a last-minute gift. Not only can you whip this up in a short time-frame, but you don’t need much yarn! And it’s the perfect accessory to go with just about any winter outfit.

In cooler weather it’s all you need, but in the extreme cold weather you can wear it under a hood as an extra layer of warmth.

I love this style, because you can wear the twist in the middle of your forehead or off to the side!

How Do You Crochet A Twist Ear Warmer?

This style ear warmer crochet pattern is worked in rows. You can work the pattern in short rows to the width that you want, or in longer rows to the circumference that you want. In this pattern I worked the rows lengthwise for the circumference.

Regardless of what you choose, work the rows until you have the size that you need. Then fold and sew the ends together for a pretty and stylish twist.

The Stitch Pattern. For this design I worked the band in rows using single crochet stitches. The stitch is not only beginner-friendly, but it is also pretty and results in a cozy fabric.

The Size. The finished earwarmer measures 20″ in circumference by 4″ wide. It is modeled on an adult small mannequin.

There is no stitch multiple for this pattern, so you can basically start off with any number of chains to get the circumference you need. Refer to this ear warmer size chart if making it as a gift for friends and family.

You can also make a crochet headband pattern simply by doing less repeats of the pattern rows.

Choosing the Yarn. I chose Lion Brand Pound of Love, which is a medium worsted weight yarn, with a 6 mm crochet hook. I love this yarn because it gives you a good amount of stretch, which is essential for an ear warmer.

How Do You Sew A Twisted Headband Together?

Step 1. To sew the twist, fold the band lengthwise with the Wrong Sides facing the outside and the Right Sides together.

Step 2. Layer the band as shown so that the edges overlap from the center. You can place your stitch markers in the middle if you like. I just eyeballed it, because you can adjust it in Step 5 as needed.

Step 3. Then fold one end over the other as shown below.

Step 4. Next, fold the second end over so that the ends interlock.

Step. 5. You should have four layers. Make adjustments as needed to make sure everything is centered evenly.

Step 6. With your tail end of the yarn, and using a tapestry needle, sew across making sure to go through all four layers.

Step 7. Turn right side out to hide the seam. Easy Peasy!!!
