The Elite Ear Warmer is a free crochet pattern, here on my blog! It is an easy headband/ear warmer pattern for a beginner crocheter. I love messy bun hats, so I wanted this ear warmer design to be extra wide, to cover the ears and give a bit more coverage. It will fit teens and adults and has lots of stretch ability to accommodate many head circumferences. This easy to crochet, ear warmer pattern –The Elite Ear Warmer– uses single crochet and back loop single crochet stitches, to give it a bit of dimension, but keep it simple.
