Simple Tunisian Crochet Ear Warmer FREE Pattern

This simple Tunisian crochet ear warmer was inspired by the Salome ear warmer pattern by Hands and Kneedles. I absolutely loved Dana’s design and wanted to recreate it using Tunisian crochet!

Finishing

Using the mattress stitch, seam the long ends of the fabric together ensuring the right side is facing out. See Photo A

Gently pull seamed fabric lengthwise to loosen the seam a bit. See Photo B

Knot the end of yarn used to create the mattress stitch with the tail from the starting chain to secure. Cut off or weave in excess lengths. See Photo C

Flatten your work keeping the seam in the middle and cut a 30 inch length of yarn. Knot one end of the newly cut yarn strand to the flattened side edge of the project. Whip stitch opening closed. Repeat process to seam opposite opening closed. See Photo D

**If you will be making this ear warmer with the knot/twist finished, then skip this step (Simple Band Finish) and head down to the “Knot/Twist Finish” section.***

Simple Band Finish

Fold short ends together taking care to make sure the headband is inside out (the long mattress stitch seam will be facing out). Then, seam short ends together with a whip stitch to create a tube. See Photo E

Secure seam with a knot, weave in all ends, turn right side out and enjoy!

Knot/Twist Finish

Fold short ends in half taking care to make sure the headband is inside out (the long mattress stitch seam will be facing out). See Photo F

Insert the short folds into each other. See Photo G

Seam short folded and inserted ends so that they are sewn sandwiched together. See Photo H

Secure seam with a knot, weave in all ends, turn right side out and enjoy!
