Introduction
Hello everyone! It’s been a while since my last post the holiday season got super hectic this year, but I’m back today with a new pattern. I have been obsessed with the alpine stitch lately and have been working on a lot of items using this stitch. Today is no exception and we will be working on the alpine stitch ear warmer.
For those who frequent this website, you will know I live in Northern Minnesota with some cold winters. With the temperature, I have been working on a lot of winter items and this alpine stitch is nice and thick which makes for a nice and warm fabric.

Before we go
I hope you all enjoyed today’s pattern, this was a really fun and simple project for me once I got the hang of the alpine stitch and I hope it is for you as well! This can be made in any size just make sure your starting row is an even number of stitches. The rest of the pattern will work the same after the first row.
