What you can make from crocheting squares/rectangles – Part 2: Ear Warmers and Headbands

To continue this series of posts, I will next be talking about ear warmers and headbands.


Like Part 1 of this series, we are going to crochet the ear warmer / headband by creating a foundation chain as long as the width of the headband then crocheting enough rows to create the length. For both ear warmers and headbands, the width is the size you would like to see on the top of the head and the length is the circumference of your head. After creating the rectangle, you sew the width ends together.


You can add a border if you would like after you have sewn the ends together. You can keep the headband flat or you can add a twist to the head band by flipping one end over before sewing the two ends together.


One of my favorites is a ribbed ear warmer, which the pattern is as follows:


I use 4 ply yarn with the hook suggested on the yarn label.


The stitches (st) I use for this pattern are chain (ch) and single crochet (sc).


Ch 16

Row 1: sc in second st from hook, sc across, ch, turn (15 sc)

Row 2: sc in back loop across, ch, turn (15 sc)

Rows 3 - 70: Repeat Row 2, tie off

Sew Row 70 and Row 1 together. Sc around in the side of each sc around both open edges.

Here is also a picture of one of the twisted ear warmers I have crocheted.

Of course, you can also make thinner head bands by making a smaller foundation chain.
