-75-85 yards of worsted weight yarn in each color for the ear warmers
-110-120 yards of worsted weight yarn in each color for the neck warmer
-size G 4.25 mm hook
-Yarn needle, scissors, measuring tape

Pattern Notes:
-All cast-on and cast-off methods used in this pattern will be the provisional (basic) cast-on and cast-off methods.
-You will need to be able to read and follow basic beginner crochet pattern instructions.

Finished Measurements:
Both the ear warmer tubes and the neck warmer tubes were stretched and then allowed to relax before laying them flat and taking the measurements.
Ear warmer tubes should measure approx. 20.5” (52 cm) not including waste yarn and prior to braiding. Designed to fit an adult head, sized 21-23 (53-58 cm) circumference when project is completed.
Neck warmer tubes should measure approx. 31” (79 cm) not including waste yarn and prior to braiding.
