CROCHET: Fall Crochet Ear Warmer Pattern for Baby - Adult, QUICK and EASY crochet ear warmer pattern 

I am so happy you like it!

Me too, have to have quick projects 😊

I thought I was the only one 🧶🤗✂️

I feel the same way. I have ADHD and have for years been able to deal with it but my crochet does show. I need shorter projects and lots of texture so i dont get bored.

I can do just a bit more. I love this comment cause it is me too.

That is wonderful!

You are very welcome! They work up fast and make a great gift.

I think so too!

Wonderful!

I am glad they were helpful. I try to add more sizes in the video when possible. Sometimes I just add 2 sizes when the pattern has 8 size options. It just depends on how simple or complex the sizing is.

Wonderful!!

Wonderful!

It is a pretty stitch. It can also be called a half double slip stitch.

Wonderful! Sorry you had to deal with the hurricane.

Wonderful!

​​@@WindingRoadCrochetI do have a slight concern. I measured my head and it was 23 in so I did the 71 starting stitches. It only reached about temple to temple on me so I undid it and added 3 at a time (because you had us add an extra three each time on the wrist warmers for the pattern) And I ended up needing 101 starting stitches. I'm not sure if this was a tension issue? On the wrist warmers I did the starting 35 and it was perfect. I'm using the red heart super saver favorite stripe, medium 4 with a 5mm hook. Either way, absolutely love it! It looks beautiful and I'm already getting a lot of compliments.

I'm so glad!

Yes try moving up a hook size.

That is wonderful!

I will look into it. It is a very fun texture.

Thanks

Thanks for subbing!

Thanks

You can add or subtract from the starting chain in multiples of 3.

10 ply

I believe it is multiples of 3 +1 for the last stitch.

When used in the back loop only it looks like the project is knitted. It also has a lot of stretch.

@@WindingRoadCrochet thanks for the reply! Just made one yesterday with some leftover yarn from your Hooded Wanderers Scarf project and it came our great! You do great work!

Yes, kind of. What I would do is start with a chain that is the side of your head. Then after you complete row 1, I would measure the piece and see what size it is. You are looking for about 1-2 inches less than the size of your head because the project will stretch.

Did you check your gauge? My best guess is that you simply crochet tighter than I do and you need to use a larger hook to meet the gauge.

I do not. I will look into what stitches it uses. I want to use a lot of patterns this year to make sets, like ear warmer, scarf, hat and fingerless gloves that all use the same stitch.

It’s a Suzette stitch & I did found a tutorial on a hat pattern using the Suzette stitch through RU-vid thank you for getting back to me

I have not but what I would do is work the first few rows and the last few rows in one color and work the middle color in another color. That would look lovely.

Multiple of 3 + 2 for the starting chain.

@@WindingRoadCrochet Thank you SO much!!!!!

I agree about measuring the head size, but I would choose the closest chain number listed to meet that size. There is a specific stitch count needed for this pattern.

To add more length add 3 chains to the starting chain. You can also add 6 chains or 9 chains depending on how much bigger you need it.

To reach the same gauge you will need to use a very small hook. It would be better to just use the pattern as a guideline and modify the starting chain and the rows you use as you go.

I believe it is a multiple of 3 + 2 for the starting chain. So the stitch count for row one is a multiple of 3+1.

Thanks for sharing! My daughter is a preschooler now and her head is just a bit smaller than mine. I used to use her as my gauge for a toddler. I don't have a infant right now, but I will have one in a few weeks!!

I was wondering about this. I’m not actually worried about the width so much as how small it looks, circumference wise. My 3 month old is a big baby and normal baby hat patterns don’t even fit her head. Maybe I’ll wrap the starting chain around her head to see if it fits first and add to it from there? This pattern is so cute and easy

I’m not sure but I made it anyway! I made it with hot pink yarn! It’s really cute! This one is a little bit loose, so I should’ve done three less chains or something? (I’m not English speaker, so hope this is not rude)

Slip stitch to the first stitch of the row.

You can add chains to the length in multiples of 3. So you can add 3 additional chains, 9, 12, or 15 chains. Hopefully the added chains should help.

Thank you!

Seems a bit odd I used the same yarn same hook and same number chains for age on chart but there us now at it would ever fit

it depends on your gauge. I would chain until you reach 30cm and then adjust the count to match the needed stitch count for the pattern.

thank you@@WindingRoadCrochet

I am going to say 80-160. It is actually unlike me to not have the estimated yarn amounts listed in the written pattern. Either 80 yards works for all sizes or there wasn't a huge yarn requirement difference, but it seems a little low in my opinion.

Looking at other ear warmer patterns I have, the 80 yards is enough for the large adult size.

It is a stitch that I refer to as the yarn over slip stitch but has also been called the half double slip stitch.

You can add to the starting chain in multiples of 3. If 71 chains is not big enough, you can try 74 or 77 or 80 chains.

It should be a multiple of 3+1. So 67 stitches should be perfect.

I mean that the pattern is the same for rows 5-10. It is just an easy way to say that you work the same row 6 times. Another way to say it, is to repeat row 5 until you have a total of 10 rows in the project.

Maybe loosen up your tension a little bit. We pull through 2-3 loops on most stitches and it shouldn't be any different than other stitches.

Maybe the type of yarn because I'm using cheap acrylic and also struggled a bit.

Worsted weight (Medium #4 weight yarn) is also called aran yarn and 10 ply,.

@@WindingRoadCrochet Thankyou for getting back to me Aran in the uk then

You might crochet tighter than I do. Did you check your gauge. 4 single crochet stitches should be 1 inch wide. If the gauge matches than 62 chains should be approximately 15.5 inches wide before it stretches.

@@WindingRoadCrochet yes I did that I do crochet tighter maybe going up hook size ?

The big question would be, di you check you gauge? The gauge upstretched is 4 stitches equals 1 inch. If you crochet tighter than that, then the earwarmer will end up tighter than what the pattern states.

I like to wrap a ribbon measuring tape (tailor's measuring tape) around your head to get the measurement. If you don't have one, you can use a piece of ribbon and then lay the ribbon flat and measure it with a ruler. I wrap it around my head long where the brim of a hat would be.

Tysm! Just made it it looks so pretty:)

I would first take it off and see if you can stretch it a little bit by hand to make it fit. Yarn gets stretched out over time and often something that fits perfectly on day 1 will be too big later. If that doesn't work then you will need to make a new one.

Mine is same no way it will fit

68 chain is for the length (circumference). Did you check your gauge? If your gauge is too tight then the pattern will come out small. The gauge is listed under the material list that is shown in the first minute of the video. You might need to move up a hook size to achieve the correct gauge. I would also check to make sure you are using a category weight #4 yarn. This can also be called worsted weight, aran and double knit (I believe). the wrong yarn weight can make a huge difference. A category #3 weight yarn is half the thickness of a #4 and could potentially make an ear warmer that is half the size that is should be. The adult ear warmer should be about 17 inches around after completing row 1 and will fit a head that is 19-21 inches in circumference.

@@WindingRoadCrochet thank you for replying quickly. I'm using a size 6 mediim yarn (yarn bee breathe deep yarn), but I upped the hook by two sizes than the one recommended for the size 4 yarn. Should I be using an even bigger hook?

You need to check your gauge to decide which hook size to use. When you work row 1, every 4 stitches should measure 1 inch. You don't have to even work the entire row. Just work about 8 stitches and then measure how long the middle 4 stitches are. Gauge is controlled by your tension on the yarn and that is very unique to everyone.

Sad I did not see this comment before… even with the Same measures it resulted short to me. good tips and good video

I’m same something but tough there seems to be to many people saying the chains they did and still way to small ?

I would check your gauge. It is most likely that you just crochet a little looser than I do and you need to adjust your hook size to meet the gauge.

ok

Yes. You cant sell the actual written pattern but you can sell the finished ear warmer!!
