Crocheted ear warmer headbands are a fun and fashionable way to keep your ears warm without hiding your hair.

The Morgan Ear Warmer pattern is super easy to crochet and works up quickly! You can make a couple headbands in only an hour or two. The three headbands pictured took me about 2 hours in total (while I was watching Netflix) to crochet. You won’t need to get this pattern on Etsy either, as it is available for free, in 3 sizes, in my post below.

Crochet ear warmers are great for keeping your ears toasty during the cold winter months while still allowing you to wear your hair up in a messy-bun, or in a ponytail. Plus, because they are made from crocheted fabric, they can be tucked easily into a pocket, or your purse.

I remember wearing earmuffs when I was younger and I also remember getting my hair caught in the adjustable sliding plastic headband piece when I was wearing them, or trying to remove them. Earmuffs did not provide much coverage from the cold weather.

With this soft, comfortable, crocheted ear-warmer, you won’t need to worry about your long hair getting caught and pulled. Along with protecting your ears from the cold air and wind, the Morgan Ear Warmer will keep your forehead and the back of your head warmer too.

The stitch pattern I used is gender neutral, making this headband suitable for everyone. The Morgan Ear Warmer is crocheted with simple sc and dc stitches.

If you prefer headbands with a twist (twisted headbands), view this post to learn how to use a twisted seaming technique for the Morgan Ear Warmer. View post: How to Make a Twisted Ear Warmer from any headband pattern worked in rows.

Beginner Ear Warmer Pattern - OombawkaDesignCrochet

The supplies used for this project were sent to me by Furls.

The yarn I’m using was sent to me by Furls. It’s called Wander yarn and it is 100% acrylic. This beautifully soft Medium Weight Yarn [4] comes in a wide-range of colors. In fact, Furls just released new colors today. You can check those out here.

From the 3 balls of yarn I worked with, I found the yarn to have great color consistency throughout the ball. There is a luster to the yarn too, which I find adds extra depth to the colors. The one ball had a couple small joining-knots in it which I untied and rejoined using a secure fisherman’s knot method. I didn’t come across any joins in the other 2 balls I used.

My children couldn’t pick just one color of yarn that they both wanted their headbands to be in this time, but you can actually make 2 ear warmers (child, or teen sizes) with just one ball of Wander Yarn.

Notes:

  • Stitch multiple: 2+1 (Understanding Stitch Multiples)
  • Crochet stitch pattern : Tilted Pairs
  • You may customize the earwarmer circumference by working the repeat as many, or as few, times as you wish. Every 2 rows you add with the stitch pattern, will add approximately 0.75-inch of circumference to the headband. 
  • To increase the width of the headband, add 2 extra chain stitches for every 0.75 inches of width.

    Hi Janice, I ordered those tabs from Unwrapped Yarn last year. I think she stopped selling them though. This is her shop link: https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=6939&awinaffid=266585&platform=dl&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Fca%2Fshop%2FUnwrappedYarn%3Fref%3Dshop_sugg She’s currently on vacation but if you follow her on Instagram she will let you know when she is reopening 🙂 All the best, Rhondda
