Hello Everyone!
It’s Friday again and like I’ve been saying when springs on its way I get a little obsessed with ear warmers, so here we are with another one! This one works up super quickly since it uses a weight 5 bulky yarn and is worked in short rows.
This will be the first ear warmer up on my blog in this style (yes I already have a few more designed so I hope you enjoy it.)

Let’s get hooking!
Supplies
About 70 grams of a weight 5 bulky yarn. I use Peruvian Alpaca from iceyarns. This is a lightweight 5 yarn so make sure if you use a different yarn you check gauge.
7mm crochet hook.
Button. I used one from this set of bulk buttons.
Darning needle.
Needle for sewing on button.
Thread or thin yarn for sewing on button.
Scissors. I like the clover yarn cutter.
Abbreviations
Ch- Chain
HDC- Half double crochet
SC- Single crochet
DC- Double crochet
Special Stitch
Puff stitch- Yarn over and draw up a loop. Repeat until you have 7 loops on you hook. Yarn over and pull through all the loops on your hook.
Notes
Gauge- 6 HDC=2 inches.
The size of this can be adjusting by adding more or less repeat rows.
