Cross rib Ear warmer

 

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.
