Twisted Headband Pattern
Key:
CH – Chain
YOSLST – Yarn Over Slip Stitch
BLO – Back Loop Only
Gauge and Size
Gauge Size 4 Yarn: 7 YOSLST X 8 Rows = 1 3/4 inches
Gauge Size 5 Yarn: 3 YOSLST = 1 inch and 6 Rows = 1 3/4 inches
Gauge Size 6 Yarn: 2 YOSLST X 2 Rows = 1 inch
Pattern:
CH – Use the chart above to determine your starting chain.
Row 1: YOSLST into the second CH from the hook. YOSLST in each CH across. (Stitch count will be one less that your starting chain.)
Row 2-15: CH1, turn, YOSLST into the BLO of each ST across.
After row 15, fasten off and leave a very long yarn end. You are ready to sew your ear warmer together. Scroll down to the sewing instructions below to finish.
If you would like to make this ear warmer wider, feel free to add more rows to your project. I could see you adding up to 10 more rows to this project for an adult ear warmer.
Finishing steps:
Step 1: Place your two ends together so they are halfway overlapping with your left side end under your right side end.
Step 2: Fold the other half of you left side end over the folded section of your right side end.
Step 3: Fold your right side end over the left side so that it resembles step 3 in the picture above.
Step 4: Use your long yarn end and a needle sew a row of stitches that goes through all 4 layers. I like to sew back and forth a few time to secure these layers together.
Step 5: Weave in your ends and turn your ear warmer inside out and your ear warmer will be done!
