Crochet the Autumn Chilled Ear Warmer with textured stitches, one skein of yarn and this free crochet pattern.
I wanted to do an ear warmer pattern for a couple of reasons. First, some people just prefer them! They work up super fast and they don't squish your hair down. Second, I wanted to show you this stitch pattern in a yarn other than Caron Cakes. All of my previous Autumn Chill patterns were made with Caron Cakes yarn, but an ear warmer just isn't big enough to make that "color block" effect work. I think it looks equally beautiful with Red Heart Boutique Treasure Yarn. It is a slightly bulkier yarn, but I still used a 6.0 mm crochet hook and the size of the ear warmer turned out perfectly!
This would be another perfect pattern to add to your holiday "to-make" list. Fast, beautiful and it requires less than one skein of yarn!

Pattern Notes
- Ch stitches at the beginning of rounds do not count as a stitch
- At the end of each round, attach with a slip stitch to the first stitch of that round
- The size of this ear warmer can be easily adjusted. Decrease or increase in increments of two.
- Rounds 3/4 and 7/8 will require a turn to ensure the bobble is on the outside of the project.
