Crochet Chunky Twist Ribbed Earwarmer

A customer send me a pic of this very cool chunky twist earwarmer that she found, and asked if I could recreate it. Well, after searching the internet for hours, I couldn’t find a crochet pattern that I really liked. I did, however, find a YouTube video of a knit version. Let me just say kudos to those of you who knit! Watching this lady knit was like learning a new language, but thankfully I was able to figure out the general form and write a crochet pattern from there. So here it is! Hope you like it! :)

As always, this pattern is the property of Brooke Rabideau at Bluebabyboutique, DesignsbyBBB, or brabideau on Ravelry  Feel free to sell any items made, but please link back to me if you share :)

  

 Crochet Adult Chunky Twist Ribbed Earwarmer (pictured huge on my 3yo)

What you’ll need:

 *Size N hook

 *Any Chunky or 2 strands of WW Yarn (I used Vanna’s choice and I Love This Yarn)

 *Crochet needle for sewing in ends

Gauge: 3 rows of BBdc=2.5 in  

Abbreviations:

 *ch- chain

 *dc- double crochet

 *BB- back bump

***Ch2 counts as a DC, so you’ll be working in the ch2 at the end of each row**

With an N hook and yarn of your choice ch 16 and turn

Rnd 1: dc in BB of 2nd ch from hook and each ch across

Rnd 2-22: *ch 2 and turn, dc in BB across* repeat till band reaches 14” (about 20 rows)

Row 23-33: *ch2 and turn, dc in BB of next 7 stitches* repeat till section reaches 7” (about 10 rows) tie off weave in ends

Row 34: attach yarn back at the band 1 stitch away from the other band and repeat rows 23-33 (see pics bellow)

Now take both sections, twist them, and sew them to the other side of the band. Hopefully these pics with be helpful too! :)

***This pattern is for an adult chunky earwarmer, but easily adjustable by taking away a few rows. For 6-9mo size, I made rows 2-22 only 10 rows instead of 20 and did the rest of the pattern the same.***
