Crochet Center Cable Adjustable Ear Warmer / Headband








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.

My YouTube video for this pattern can be located at the bottom of this post.


What you need:
Worsted weight yarn
Size J crochet hook
Buttons
Scissors

Stitches used -
Ch - chain
Sc - single crochet
Hdc - half double crochet
Dc - double crochet
Bpdc - back post double crochet
Fpdc - front post double crochet
Fptc - front post treble crochet

Gauge is not necessary for this project


Pattern

Ch 21

Row 1 -
Hdc in the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across. Ch 1, turn, (20 Hdc)

Row 2 -
Dc in the 1st Hdc and in eac20 h Hdc across. Ch 1, turn ( 20 Dc)

Row 3 -
Dc in the 1st 2 Dc, Bpdc in the next 2 Dc, Fpdc in the next 2 Dc, Bpdc in the next 2 Dc, skip 2 Dc and Tfpc in the next 2 Dc, (now go back to the 2 skipped DC) Tfpc in the 1st skipped Dc, Tfpc in the next skipped Dc, (now go back to the unworked stitches to finish the row) Bpdc in the next 2 Dc, Fpdc in the next 2 Dc, Bpdc in the next 2 Dc, Dc in the last 2 Dc. Ch 1, turn

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!
