This Barley Ridge Earwarmer Crochet Pattern will be live on the EyeLoveKnots (at the link provided) at midnight EST on 11.20.17.

This is my third time participating in the Holiday Stashdown #CALCentralCrochet. I just love being able to go through yarn in my stash, and get some holiday gifts done up. This year there are 16 free crochet patterns being shared, and a great giveaway. Visit my Time for the Holiday Stashdown CAL 2017 page on the EyeLoveKnots blog for more information!

This year, I wanted to change up my design. In previous stashdown’s I worked up cowls, but this year, I wanted to make something I could actually wear here in Florida when it gets cold out. Typically, it’s only cold out in the mornings and evenings, and hot during the day - too hot really for a cowl. This earwarmer is easy to stash in a purse or even pocket of large jacket when it gets too warm out, or going inside.
