Two things I love in a crochet project: simple and easy. These crochet ear warmers are just that!
Basic, simple ear warmers that will keep your ears warm and easy to crochet!
I love wearing ear warmers especially on windy days and when I’m out in the chilly weather taking my dogs for a walk.
I love wearing crochet hats too, but I get so warm when out walking my dogs so having the ear warmer is just enough to keep me warm but not too warm!
I have a really basic ear warmer pattern that is very popular, but I needed something extra. For this ear warmer, I used a tighter stitch and a bulky yarn for extra warmth.
Because of the bulky yarn, these crochet ear warmers also work up quickly. I was able to crochet each ear warmer in just one sitting.
If you’d rather use up some of your worsted weighted yarn, you can do that too! The cream colored ear warmer is made with worsted weight yarn doubled up and it turned out perfectly.

For this crochet ear warmer, you can also add the cinch in the front or do without it. I like them both ways so I made the cinch and when I want to change up the look I just wear the cinch part on the back!
Thank you so much for your support! All the support for my crochet blog allows me to stay home with my son to homeschool him and it really means the world to me!
Free Crochet Ear Warmer Pattern
Materials
Bulky or Worsted Weight yarn (holding two strands together)
J/6.00mm hook
Tape Measure
Tapestry needle
Scissors
Stitch markers (optional)
Notes
If using worsted weight yarn, hold two strands together while crocheting.
The ear warmer is made to fit snug so it doesn’t slip down while being worn. It can be made to fit any size head by simply crocheting until your rows measure 3″ less than the head circumference you are making it for.
At the end of each row, it may be difficult to see the chain 1 from the previous row to crochet into. Use stitch markers to mark each chain 1 in the beginning of the row to make it easier.
Dimensions of finished headband: 4” x 18”
