16 stitches for child 48grams

20 stitches for adult 58grams

Increase stitches to make wider, keep number of stitches an even amount. I knitted the above ear warmers using paintbox simply chunky yarn, you can use any chunky yarn you like.

Bring these stitches in front, work the next 6st, 7st, 8st, 10st or 12st) *k1, p1 repeat from * across stitches. Work stitches from cable needle, k1, *p1, k1 repeat from * until end of row.
