Sizes:
Adult – One Size
Materials:
Size 7 (4.5mm) 16”
circular needles
Worsted Weight Yarn #4 –
I used a little less than 66 yards
1 ¼ inch button
Scissors
Needle for weaving in
ends
Gauge:
22 sts in 1x2 ribbing pattern = 4 inches. This is BEFORE stretch.
The ribbing pattern is super stretchy so it will look small (my earwarmer
measures between 15 and 16 inches before stretch, but it stretches to fit my
22.5 inch head nicely)
I tend to knit tightly,
so check your gauge and adjust needle size accordingly.
Abbreviations:
CO – Cast on
K – Knit
Purl – Purl
St(s) – Stitch(es)
RS – Right Side
WS – Wrong Side
Notes:
To adjust size, cast on
in multiples of 3.
I used the long-tail
cast on method.
For binding off, either
bind of loosely, or use a super stretchy bind off like this:
Instructions:
Cast on 90 sts (long-tail cast on). Join to start working in the round.
*K1, p2* repeat around
Keep repeating 1x2 ribbing until it measures approximately 4 inches from
cast on edge.
Bind off loosely, or use super stretchy bind off (see link above)
Finishing:
Cut yarn, leaving long
tail. Pinch the earwarmer and sew with the yarn tail (see photo below). Sew on
button of choice.
