Crochet this cute ear warmer in the color of your choice. I opted for a Red Heart Comfy in Indigo.
The buttons are optional but you will need them to make the ear warmer adjustable.
Great for gifts for the upcoming holidays.

Repeat Rows 3 and 4 until your ear warmer is the length that you need, ending with Row 4. I worked a total of 48 rows and my ear warmer is 20" long.
Row 49 (or the next row for you) -
Sc in the 1st Dc and in each Dc across. Ch 1, turn. (20 Sc)
Row 50 -
Sc in the 1st Sc, 3 Dc in the next Sc, skip 1 Sc, Sc in the next next Sc, * skip the next Sc, 3 Dc in the next Sc, skip the next Sc, Sc in the next Sc * Repeat from * - * to the end. Fasten off.
Finishing -
Sew the buttons along row 1 - the Hdc row. Use as many buttons as you want. I used 3 buttons and sewed 1 in the center and 1 on each side.
The buttons will slip through the stitches wherever you want to fasten them.
All done!
