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.
Row 1: knit
Row 2: P1, *k1b, p1 repeat from * until last stitch, k1
Repeat these 2 rows until it measures the desired length.
14-16 inches for baby
17 inches for toddler
18 inches for child
19 inches for adult
Cast off leaving a long tail. Using the long tail, sew the ends together. Once you have sewn the ends, gather the middle and sew through back and forth a few times.
Middle knot
Cast on using 6mm needles and chunky yarn
7 stitches for adult

Cast off leaving a long tail. Turning the wrong way wrap the middle knot strip around the middle and sew it together using a over sew stitch. Secure in place with a few stitches and turn the right way.
