This stylish headband/earwarmer will keep your ears cozy and your hair in place even at the wrath of winter’s wind.

Dislike weaving in ends? This is designed in a unique way so it isn’t constructed with individual strips - only four yarn ends to weave in!

Level: Intermediate Beginner - someone who knows the basic stitches and is looking to improve upon construction techniques and/or pattern reading (or just someone who wants a really nice earwarmer)
Stitches used: Slip stitch (sl st), Single crochet (sc), and Half-double crochet (hdc)
Other abbreviations: ch (chain), sp (space)
Size: Adjustable from 20” upwards instruction for making it smaller or larger are included.
Yarn: Any worsted weight yarn will do. I like to use Vanna’s Choice by Lion Brand Yarn.
Hook: 5.0 mm
