Materials Needed

• Button: One large button for closure
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chain 6: Start by making a slip knot on your hook. Chain 6 stitches. This will form the foundation of your ear warmer.
2. Row 1: In the second chain from the hook, make a single crochet (sc). Continue to single crochet in each chain across. You should have 5 single crochets in total. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 1 to begin the next row. Single crochet in each stitch across the row. Turn your work. Repeat this step (Row 2) until your piece measures approximately 20 inches or your desired length for the ear warmer. This will create a long rectangle that will be gathered to fit snugly around your head.
4. Fasten Off: Once your piece reaches the desired length, cut the yarn, leaving a long tail (about 12 inches) for sewing. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it.
5. Create Gathered Effect: Using the long tail, weave it through the last row of stitches. Pull gently to gather the fabric together, creating a cinched effect. Secure the gathered section with a knot to hold it in place.
6. Attach the Button: Take your large button and sew it onto one end of the ear warmer. Make sure it is securely attached, as this will be used for the button closure.
7. Create the Buttonhole: On the opposite end of the ear warmer, use the spaces between the stitches to create a buttonhole. This will allow you to easily fasten and unfasten the ear warmer.
8. Weave in Ends: Finally, use your tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends of yarn to ensure a neat finish. Trim any excess yarn.
