***NOTE:***
I have received some messages and emails about this baseball cap earwarmer being too small. It’s a good note to remember that I crochet kind of tight and the type of yarn you use and the size hook you use does make a difference. If you find that it is too small, please try going up a hook or two if needed and remake it. If it’s still not right also try using a thicker yarn, a thicker #4 or even a #5 yarn. I hope this helps!

I designed this so that my son could wear his ball cap in the winter and still keep his ears warm. He really doesn’t like wearing hats I make from yarn because he says it makes his head itchy. This seemed to be perfect for him. I figured there are others out there the same way.
This pattern makes a Cap Earwarmer that has a band that goes under the bill and over the bill. That way it keeps the hat in place. My son also says the band under the bill keeps any hair back as well.

Size: One Size Fits Most Adults

(Note: I found that using different yarns
Even though they were all rated #4 worsted I got
Different sizes of Ear Warmers. Please Keep
This in mind when you make yours and adjust
Accordingly.)
