I love Pinterest. Where else can you get a recipe for dinner and a great winter ear warmer pattern? LOL
Anyway, I came across a pattern titled "Easiest Headwrap EVER!!!" from Frayed Knot.
I learned to crochet at 8. Over the years I've taught myself so much thanks to the internet. I'm still working on reading a pattern chart, but I'm really good with written patterns. So after about 2 hours of trying this pattern (which is really easy!) I still couldn't get the ear warmer to come out straight.
Honestly, I still have no idea why it crocheted up in a diagonal but I'm guessing it had something to do with the half-double crochet stitch. I hate that stitch :0)
So, using the pattern, some trial and error, and a lot of cussing...I came up with the following:
Even Easier Headwrap
Hook: H/8 - 5.00MM
Yarn: Any Worsted Weight will do, I used Bernat because I picked up a skein on sale
*unless otherwise noted you will end each row with "CH 2, turn"*
CH 5, starting in the second chain from the hook make 4 SC (4)
Row 1: DC, CH 2, DC (this is your button hole)
Row 2: 2 DC in same stitch, 2 DC in the CH 2 space, 2 DC in same stitch (6)
Row 3: 6 DC
Row 4: 2 DC in same stitch, 4 DC, 2 DC in same stitch (8)
Row 5: 8 DC
Row 6: 2 DC in same stitch, 6 DC, 2 DC in same stitch (10)
Row 7: 10 DC
Row 8: 2 DC in same stitch, 8 DC, 2 DC in same stitch (12)
Row 9: 12 DC
Rows 10 - 47: 12 DC
Row 48: skip the first and last DC spots, DC 10 times in between (10)
Row 49: 10 DC
Row 50: skip the first and last DC spots, DC 8 times in between (8)
Row 51: 8 DC
Row 52: skip the first and last DC spots, DC 6 times in between (6)
Row 53: 6 DC
SC around the entire headband, fasten off, weave in ends, and add a button.
I used this flower pattern.
If you want to make this without a button, start with a CH 7 then follow from Row 3 and attach to Row 53 before SC around the headband.
This is my first "pattern", be kind!
NOTE: If you make something from this pattern to sell, link back here. Don't claim it as your own and don't sell the pattern. As you can see, I linked back to the original pattern and I'm freely sharing my changes.
