A Textured Ear Warmer Crocheted with Yarn Scraps

Ahh crochet patterns that use up leftover yarn. I LOVE them. If you're anything like me, then you HATE throwing away the small leftover yarn balls you get after completing a project. This ridge-y ear warmer pattern will solve that problem for you. I bet you have enough in your yarn stash leftovers to make at least a few!

Simple Crochet Stitches Create TONS of Texture

The Mountain Ridge Ear Warmer also makes me fall in love with this pattern because of its simplicity. I always love trying to create a lot of texture and visual interest while using simple stitches.

Make this Pattern Your Own

There are so many ways that you can easily customize the Mountain Ridge Ear Warmer crochet pattern. You can absolutely use more that just two colors - I think it would look cute if each stripe was a different color! You can also customize it by finishing it with a twist like I did with the Snow Drops Ear Warmer, or a faux knot as you can see in my Mock Knot Ear Warmer. Whatever way you make it, I know you're going to love it!

  • In the sample, color A is dark purple and color B is light purple

Instructions

Round 1: ch 1, SC in each ch around (60)

Round 2 (color B): ch 2, HDC in each st around (60)
