This little accessory was born of desperation (because even though I’ve lived in the Midwest for elebenty-billion years and should be used to it by now, I’m still a wimp). Our winter weather has been brutal the last few years – worse than we’ve seen in a long time. The earwarmer I’ve been using for too many years is OK – but, it tends to slip, and isn’t quite wide enough in the right spot to cover these old ears properly. So, I hauled out what I needed, cast on, and ended up with a comfortable warmer that can be made for just about any size.

My sincere apologies for the non-professional photos. You know, because no model because of – virus…..

Sigh…..

If a smaller or larger size is needed, use smaller or larger needles.
