Easy Popcorn Womens Ear Warmer Headband

Use this easy popcorn womens ear warmer headband pattern to whip up a nice headband or a cozy ear warmer for yourself or your daughters. The pattern is super easy to adjust in size, and can be worked up in any yarn that you have on hand. However, I recommend using a thinner yarn in order to maintain a nice stretch.

Other patterns that use this stitch pattern are this crochet bag, this crochet cowl and this cute cup cozy pattern. If you’re looking for more earwarmers you might enjoy this roundup of warm winter headbands, or check out the archive page for crochet ear warmers.
