Winter Ear Warmers


I have been making ear warmer/headbands for gifts this winter. I use Vanna's Choice yarn, which is pretty cheap at Michael's Craft Store and you can always use a 50% off coupon! This a nice size yarn for this project.

Directions:
I use size 9 needles and cast on 20 stitches.
R1- Knit the first row
R2 - Knit 5 - Pearl 10 - Knit 5
Repeat for 16 -18 inches depending on the size of the persons head.
Sew up the ends and add a flower for effect or just wear it plain.





This one is all knit stitch. After I sew it together I wrapped yarn around the middle to kind of cinch it together in the front. Then I added a flower on top. 






This one I used Lion Brand Thick and Quick chunky yarn. I did the same cinching technique. I think the yarn is a little too thick but my sister-in-law liked it!
