18 Crochet Ear Warmer Patterns for Staying Cozy

I’ve never been a huge hat or beanie person. Believe me, I really tried. I have dreams of being able to pull off the beanie look, but so far they are only dreams. Until then, I’ve been really enjoying ear warmers! I love having the option to keep my hair down or throw it up in a ponytail or bun while still getting to enjoy the coziness of a crochet piece on my head. Plus, they take less time and yarn… AKA you can make more for less money! Win, win! Have you ever made a crochet ear warmer? If not, I think this post might change your mind! Let’s jump in!

Another lovely use of puff stitch on an ear warmer! Do you prefer a twist ear warmer, or this bow-like style from Falzy Crochet Designs?

If you look closely, this crochet ear warmer from Cosy Rosie UK doesn’t twist! It actually uses a ribbed strip of crochet! How cool is that!
