HDC Open Stitch – Simple Twisted Ear Warmer Crochet Pattern

Simple Twisted Ear Warmer Crochet Pattern Information

The stitches used are beginner-friendly, making it great for those who are comfortable with skipping stitches and crocheting into chains. The pattern is worked with single crochets in one row, followed by a half double crochet and chain one space in the next row.

The ear warmer is worked in rows and then joined together to make a twist along the seam.
