Happy 2022! There’s a brand new, beginner-friendly crochet ear warmer pattern that you are going to love. It’s jam-packed with crochet goodness like two different textures and four different assembly options. Remember when selecting yarn was the hardest part of a pattern? Now you can blame me when you have a pile of ear warmers next to you because you can’t stop making all the styles.
Now that winter is here, it means frigid mornings at the bus stop and bundling everyone up for chilly errand runs. While I don’t love how long it takes to get everyone bundled up and out the door, I do love how throwing on a stylish headband instantly makes me feel a little fancy. You too, right?
They make the perfect accent for both a good hair day as well as when you’re running around in a ponytail, plus these winter headbands will keep your ears warm and toasty.

Introducing the St. Peregrine Ear Warmer Crochet Pattern
This ear warmer is the third pattern in the St. Peregrine Collection and I love how quick and easy these are to whip up! I made one for my mom, sister, and sister-in-law for Christmas last month, each in a different finished style. And of course, I made one for myself too.
I am in love with this texture and the simplicity of how the combination of front and back loop half double crochet and puff stitches create so much texture. The combination is a simple repeat which is perfect for those days where you want to focus on mindfulness, or are cozied up with a fire and a movie.
You will work the ear warmer in rows, and then decide which texture you want to be the finished side. Then follow the directions to sew it together for your favorite style. Except for the standard version. You’ll be able to pick which texture you prefer each time you run out the door!
There are 6 sizes to choose from – infant to adult XL – and you’ll find the written pattern down below.
If you want additional photos for assembly, a pattern chart, and tips on how to customize the sizing, you can purchase the ad-free, premium PDF of this pattern on Etsy, Ravelry, and LoveCrafts.
