This super simple headband or cowl pattern is crocheted up in half doubles. It has a fair amount of stretch in it making it perfect for a headband. It’s also warm warm enough to wear as an ear warmer in the cold winter weather.
Furthermore, because the pattern is so easy to adjust in size, you could just as easy crochet up a cowl for any season.
Other ear warmers to try include the criss cross crochet ear warmer pattern or the Charisma crochet ear warmer. And for something super stretchy and adjustable you might want to check out this ear warmer headband.
