Named for the almost 8 mile lake in upstate New York, Lake Otsego Ear Warmer is a quick and cozy knit accessory. Worked as a rectangle for adjustable head size, this buttoned ear warmer has a ribbed edge with a bed of seed stitch in the middle to add textural interest. This is the perfect project to whip out as a gift (for yourself or others) or for beginner knitters who are gaining confidence in their knit and purl stitches.
