How to Crochet the Easy Twisted Crochet Ear Warmer Pattern

The Easy Twisted Crochet Ear Warmer are crocheted in rounds as a tube, creating a warmer headband.

The stitches used are single crochet stitches (sc) and slip stitches worked in the back loop only (sl st blo).

The tube can be crocheted as long as you’d like, but the written pattern has sizing for women. But if you want to crochet it for a toddler, kid, teen or man, you can easily add or reduce the number of rounds you crochet.

The right sides are always facing you as you crochet.

The crocheted tube for the headband is folded once at the end, then the short edges of the tube are sewn together with whip stitches.

Yarn for the Easy Twisted Crochet Ear Warmer Pattern

The suggested yarn for the twist headband is an aran weight yarn from Plymouth yarn called Homestead.

It’s a lovely 100 % wool yarn that will keep you warm and toasty on the coldest days.

But you can also substitute the yarn for any other wool or acrylic yarn.

There’s even a possibility to adopt the pattern to use worsted weight yarn or bulky weight yarn. To do this you can add/reduce the number of stitches in the tube, then add/reduce the number of rounds you crochet.

Double Layered Headband For Extra Warmth

The Easy Twisted Crochet Ear Warmer is crocheted as a tube for extra warmth.

Usually crochet headband patterns are crocheted as a rectangle, without that double layer. For twisted ear warmers, they are often folded once to create the twist.

The positive feature with the tube method is the added insulation it creates during cold days.

Easy Twisted Crochet Ear Warmer PatternTechniques You Will Need

Crocheting In The Back Loop

In this crochet pattern you need to know how to crochet in the back loop only.

This means that you will not crochet through the whole stitch as usual. A typical stitch contains two loops. One in the front, nearest you, and another stitch in the back, furthest away from you. One is called the front loop (the one nearest you), the other one the back loop, the one furthest away from you. 

These stitches are abbreviated with BL in front of their regular abbreviation.
