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!

  1. This was the perfect width! I should have probably chained a few more before starting though...I think I would prefer a button so I don't mess up my hair getting it on and off...is there an easy way to mod this to add a buttonhole and not slip stitch together at the seam? I'm a beginner.

  2. Allison, you don't need to make a button hole.. Just get a button as big as the hole in the headband. Sew button on band,I would use 2 large decorative buttons on this one and have those new the decoration instead of the flower.

  3. Alison, this ear warmer is worked in the round, not in rows. A button hole would not work for this type of pattern. I am attaching a link for a free pattern on ravelry that I have done that is worked in rows! This one shouldn't mess up your hair!

  4. What does "in blo in" mean on round 2 of the ear warmer, and what is the spoke of the petal could you be a bit more descriptive please or show some pictures?

  5. Does this pattern fit snuggly on the head, but yet has some stretch factor to it so it can fit anyone's head?
    Thank you.

  10. CHAINING 44 STITCHES ON TE BEGINNING ROW ISNT LONG ENOUGH TO GO AROUND YOUR HEAD. SHOULDNT THERE BE 74 CHAIN STITCHES INSTEAD
