Now see the model that we will teach you:
Material
- Ball of knitting thread;
- 5 mm needle.
Step by Step
To start your ear warmer, you need to measure the circumference of your head. After that, make 15 little chains and insert the needle in the 2nd ch to start the first round. Then, sc until the end of it.
After the last sc, make a tea and turn the job over.
You should follow this pattern until you reach the size of the circumference you measured. Remember that wool stretches. This way, do not make the band exactly the size of the measurement, but a little smaller. After all, it will fade over time.
Therefore, we recommend that, while making the piece, check the measurements, and stretch the piece over your head to ensure that it is not too big or too small.
If you are going to make the ear warmer to sell, make a pattern for your pieces. So, set sizes so that you can cater from children to adults.
Note: you must make a chain before starting each round, without closing the piece yet.
For the detail, first, make 7 chains and 1 slip stitch to climb, then make 10 rounds of sc. You will have to make a low of each round for each low of the previous round, as we did in the larger range.
Finally, close the round with sl st or sew it with a tapestry needle from one end to the other. This way, you will have a tube.
Then, pass the band through this tube until it is in the center. After that, join the ends of the band and connect them with sl st or sew them.
Okay, now you have your crochet ear warmer. Take the opportunity to decorate it as you like and make versions of various colors and combinations. We are sure that, besides making it beautiful, it will help you to spend this winter very warm.
