This ear warmer is the second in a collection of patterns inspired by my button jar and simple stitches. The stitch pattern name is a bit of a mystery (I’ve heard it called lemon peel, griddle stitch, AND seed stitch), but I have used it on many different projects over the years. My Button Jar Cowl is made with the same construction and stitch pattern if you want to keep your neck and ears warm. I hope you have as much fun picking out buttons as I did! Great for confident beginners.
