One-evening Crochet Patterns

This week for our Free Pattern Friday Roundup I have located 10 free Ear Warmer Crochet Patterns that you can make super quick! These one-evening crochet projects are a great way to try out new crochet stitches.

Plus, crochet ear warmers are fantastic to give as gifts. They can easily be tucked into your pocket or purse, or stored in your vehicle for those windy days when you need something to ward of the cold chill but don’t necessarily need a hat. Ear warmers are also great for those people (like me!) who usually wear their hair up in a messy bun or in a simple ponytail.

So let’s get to it – here are some easy and quick crochet projects you can crochet for ear warmers and headbands. Included are links to free patterns for men, women and children.

  1. Hi Ceclia, I think part of the problem is that whomever is designing the pattern will use the term earwarmer and headband interchangeably. So the measurements will be about the same; unless it is a narrow headband that is being used to just hold the hair back and isn’t meant to cover the ears. Unfortuneatly with the words being used interchangeable the only way for sure for you to know which is which is to see the finished project and determine how wide the band is. I would make a headband that is to pull back the hair only slightly smaller in circumference (so it is tighter). Here is a roundup I did a while back that gives you some options for the narrower kind – they may have some measurements included. I personally like the ones that use an elastic in the back to help them stay put. https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/20-free-patterns-for-crocheted-headbands-save-for-later/ Hope this helps! Rhondda

  2. when making an earwarmer do you use the same measurements as for a headband? I assume an earwarmer goes down over the ear and around the back of the neck and the headband goes above the eyebrow and around the upper part of the head. Do you use the same head measurements for the earwarmer or does it need to be longer? Help is appreciated. There are so many charts out there for measurements and all different…it is confusing.
