Picot Edge HDC Crochet Earwarmer
This crochet earwarmer pattern features a lovely picot edge around the bottom and top edges. It’s a pretty stitch for everyone to wear with their favorite outfits. And you can wear it to keep your ears warm or as a headband to keep your hair back.
Either way, this earwarmer crochet pattern makes for a nice gift idea, not to mention a stashbuster.
Even in solid color you only need a small amount of yarn. And if you add a few stripes you can use up even the smallest amounts of scraps.
One option is to crochet the edge in a contrast color. Another option is to add a few stripes with the body of the ear warmer.
Finished Size
The free pattern is available in one size to fit a small-medium adult. The finished measurements are approximately 21″ in circumference by 3.25″ wide.
The circumference can be adjusted in a multiple of 4 for your starting chains. The width can be adjusted by doing more or less repeats of rounds 3 and 4.
It’s always best to take measurements of the head circumference to ensure the most comfortable fit. It that is not possible this ear warmer size chart can help.
Recommended Yarn
Originally I used Bernat Denimstyle, but it has been discontinued. So I tried Red Heart Super Saver. and it came out fairly nice.
Super Saver is one of the most economical and popular acrylic yarns available on the market. It is easy to work with, washes well, and can be used for crocheting just about anything you need including winter wearables.

How it’s Made
This ear warmer crochet pattern is worked in the round with basic crochet stitches.
It starts off at the bottom edge with chain 3 spaces. Then half double crochet stitches, alternated with single crochet stitches until you’re about half an inch away from the desired width.
Then another round of chain 3 spaces prepares for the final edging round, which is worked in single crochets and picots. The edge is worked on both sides of the ear warmer.
