Cross 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: 7mm needles, chunky yarn, stitch
holder, tapestry needle
Cast on using 7mm needles and chunky yarn. (If
you are a loose knitter, then reduce your needle size to a 6mm.)
12
stitches for baby 19 grams
14
stitches for toddler 25 grams
16
stitches for child 34 grams
20 stitches for adult 44grams
24 stitches for extra wide adult 54 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.
