Back to Basics Earwarmer Pattern free
Back to Basics Crochet Earwarmer

My Back to Basics Crochet Earwarmer Pattern is a free pattern. This crocheted headband is available in 5 sizes: Small Child (3-5 years), Child (6-10 years), Teen (adult small), Adult Medium and Adult Large.

This stitch pattern is very easy to crochet and the pattern is suitable for all levels of crocheters.

The crochet rib stitch adds texture and interest to this earwarmer. It is an easy stitch to make and is entirely done with single crochet stitches worked in the back loop of the stitch.

Notes:

  • Multiple of 1 (plus 1 for the turning chain) (Understanding Stitch Multiples)
  • When I work into the foundation chain, I prefer working into the back bar (back bump) of the chain. You can work under the back loop only if you prefer.
  • To add one inch of height, increase the starting chain by 3.
  • To increase the width (circumference) repeat R2 as many, or as few, times as you wish. 7 rows is approximately 2 inches.

Finishing Instructions for All Earwarmers

Finish off leaving a 6-inch tail of yarn for seaming.

On a flat surface, fold your project in half bringing the first and last rows together and lining up the stitches. Thread your yarn end on a yarn needle and work through both layers; whipstitch (view tutorial here) once for each stitch. I worked under the back loop from the last row and both loops from R1. 

Once you have finished seaming the side of the earwarmer, weave in any remaining ends securely.
