How to crochet an easy crochet ear warmer worked in a combination of single crochets and treble crochets to create a cozy, textured crochet pattern and your favorite worsted weight yarn. Toddler, Child and Adult sizes included.

Video tutorial included.

I just love the texture of this stitch pattern that I once discovered in a dress many moons ago. That dress used a crochet stitch called the Even Berry Stitch, but I found that in working the little berry stitches up, they did not hold their textured shape that well with some of them caving inward or flattening out, so I modified this stitch pattern by alternating single crochets and treble crochets to get the same exact look of the Even Berry crochet stitch, but with better stitch definition long term.

This ear warmer is part of the 2024 Mystery Earwarmer Crochet a Long - Design 2.

This crochet pattern has been around since January of 2021. Fast forward to September of 2024, and this design is joining the 2024 Mystery Earwarmer Crochet a Long and getting a full update: working in a new yarn, adding a video tutorial, and the free PDF for blog subscribers to the new Free File Library, but one other big change is that the original design was worked in the round, and the remake is worked in rows, which makes it a little bit easier. You will find both versions

Materials for the Ear Warmer Worked in the Round:

• 50 (63, 63, 71) Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver in Saffron)
• I9/5.5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle
• Tape Measure (gauge is essential)

Materials for the Ear Warmer Worked in Rows:

• 80 (115, 125) Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn - I used Lion Brand Pound Wool Ease in the Linen colorway
• H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle
• Tape Measure (gauge is essential)

Yarn Alternatives:
I tested out many different yarns for my cozy crochet ear warmers throughout this Earwarmer Crochet a Long, but using this stitch pattern in particular, I used Red Heart Super Saver in the original, Lion Brand Wool Ease in the remake, and Araucania Huasco Aran Kettle Dyed Yarn for the twisted version that is coming soon!

Acrylic yarns, like Red Heart Super Saver (or Lion Brand Jeans, which I love!) work well for ear warmers when it’s just cool out and not too windy. To help protect against the wind, I would recommend an animal fiber. The more animal fiber within the yarn, the better it will protect against the wind and the warmer it will be. My favorite yarns for cozy ear warmers are wool blends, but feel free to use your favorite worsted weight yarn! If you are allergic to wool, but looking for a different animal fiber, try alpaca.

Yarn Alternatives:

• Cotton Blend for Warm Weather: Berroco Modern Cotton
• Cozy Wool Blends: WeCrochet Swish, Berroco Vintage
• Cozy Non-Wool Alpaca Blends: Mirasol Misma, Ella Rae Cozy Alpaca
• Acrylic Yarns: Lion Brand Heartland, Lion Brand Jeans

Time Spent:
For the adult small size, I had my earwarmer ready in just under 1 hour.

Sizes Included:
Toddler, Child, Teen/Adult Small and Adult Large

Provided in the written pattern for each version.

Gauge is essential, and if not taken, the finished ear warmer may not fit correctly.
