This is an adjustable ear saver pattern. The finished product measures 7.5 inches long. I like using the 100% cotton, I love this cotton, it is soft and a great choice. However I have used crafters secret cotton and peaches and cream cotton, they all work well, I love this cotton is just softer. 1 skein will make several of these. I have seen a lot of these that are small and do not work well with the males head, these are longer and will work well with thick hair or a males hair. Plus like I said it’s adjustable. :) Enjoy!
