Crochet Ear Warmer Patterns are SO Useful
Welcome to another pattern in our Seven ONEderful Skeins pattern collection. I love including ear warmers in these pattern collections for a few reasons.
- They are a super quick project and easy to complete in less than a day
- You can usually crochet 2-3 ear warmers with just one skein of yarn
- They make great teacher/co-worker gifts because they are fast and inexpensive to make
Seven ONEderful Skeins
Welcome to Seven ONEderful Skeins - the spin off from my popular Seven Days of Scarfie pattern event. This year all of our patterns will be made with one skein of simple worsted weight acrylic, BUT I also made them with Lion Brand Scarfie yarn. You get to decide what yarn you're going to use. But one way or the other - we are going to make 7 projects in 7 days with 7 skeins (or less) of yarn!
I hope that you love each of these pattern collections as much as I do!
- START HERE: This will give you all the information you need about the supplies you will need, you can find the patterns I have released so far in this year’s collection along with the patterns from previous Seven Days of Scarfie pattern collections.

Warm up by Crocheting the Bobble Stitch
The Butternut Ear Warmer packs on a little bit of insulation for cold weather. That's because the bobble stitch is a pretty dense and warm stitch. Sure, it takes a bit of extra yarn that typical stitches. But the payoff is a nice warm piece for winter. I don't know about you, but where I live that is necessary!
