Twisted rib ear warmer

 

Twisted rib ear warmer


Lovely ear warmer pattern that is stretchy and comfortable to wear. Due to the stretch, I would advise to measure your head and adjust length accordingly.

You will need: 6.5mm needles, chunky yarn, cable needle, tapestry needle

Cast on using 6.5mm needles and chunky yarn. (If you are a loose knitter, then reduce your needle size to a 6mm.)

              14 stitches for baby 21grams

              16 stitches for toddler 27grams

              18 stitches for child 41grams

              20 stitches for adult 44grams 

              24 stitches for extra wide adult 47 grams


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.

Row 1: *k1, p1 repeat from * across row

Repeat this row until it measures

14-16 inches for baby

17 inches for toddler

18 inches for child

19inches for adult

Cast off loosely leaving a long tail for sewing. Turn one end of the ear warmer over and sew the ends together using the tail of yarn.
