Tips

- Don’t have any Bulky yarn on hand?  No problem,  just double up on worsted weight holding 2 strands together throughout! (Pictured below)

-  Easily make your ear warmer bigger or smaller by changing the number of beginning chains.

- Make a chain and wrap it around your head to determine length of chain that is right for you, but be sure to allow for stretch!
