Dotted ear warmer
Lovely ear warmer pattern that is stretchy and comfortable to wear. It is like the full fisherman’s rib, but it knits up quicker and it takes less yarn. Due to the stretch, I would advise to measure your head and adjust length accordingly.
Cast on using 6mm needles and chunky yarn
10 stitches for baby 22-24grams
12 stitches for toddler 33 grams
14 stitches for child 41grams
16 stitches for adult 48grams
20 stitches for wide adult 58grams
24 stitches for extra wide adult 70grams
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.
