Skill Level: Intermediate

Finished sizes: (This pattern can be adjusted to any size)

  • Teen/Adult: 20” circumference and 5” height
  • Child: 17.5” circumference and 4.5” height

Materials:
#4 – Medium / Worsted weight yarns (Approx: 100 total yards) for each

(I used)

  • #4 – Medium / Worsted weight yarns Approx: 100 yards
  • US I-9, 5.5mm crochet hook
  • Tapestry needle for weaving ends.

Gauge: 13 sc x 14 rows = 4″ with I-9, 5.5mm crochet hook.

Abbreviations (US Term)

  • sl st = slip stitch
  • ch = chain
  • sc = single crochet
  • hdc = half double crochet
  • dc = double crochet
  • tr = treble crochet
  • sk = skip
  • * to ; = repeat * to the instructions.
  • beg = beginning
  • (RS) = right side

Special stitches

  • hdc/sc in 3rd loop= instead of working crochet stitches in top loops of the previous round, you should find a 3rd loop on the wrong side or back side of the crochet piece. This 3rd loop is located on the wrong side just under the top 2 loops. Start to make a crochet stitch you want as normal way. When you inserting hook into the loop in the previous row just skipped the top 2 loops and turn a crochet piece forward and insert the hook in 3rd loop, Finish the stitch as normal. 🙂
  • Picot = crochet ch 3, sl st to the previous tr you just crocheted.
  • Shell stitch = (2 dc, 2 tr, picot, 2 tr, 2 dc) in indicated st.

Notes:

  • This ear warmer has a ribbed band and can be adjusted to any size. Crochet multiple of 6 rows for the ribbed band part to get your desired circumference. (work in rows and join 2 short sides together to make a ribbed band).
  • If you can’t get the actual measurements of the person, you can follow the Hat sizing guide chart. Select the age group you want and try to get the closest number of the hat circumference by crocheting multiple of 6 rows for the band.
  • Beg ch does not count as st.

    Teen/adult size says chain 7 then single crochet, startimg on second chain make 6 SD = 6 stitches. Then 1 sc in first sc of previous row 1 sc in back loop of next 3 stitches then 1 sc in next stitch which equals 5 stitches not 6…
    Why is this? It says supposed to be 6 stitches count throughout the rounds. Am I missing something?

        Hi….I have been asked to make one of these for an infant….7 to 8 months old….how would I adjust the band length? Do I go down 12 rows like you did with the adult to child size? Thanks!

      Hello, I’ve made this beautiful crown for several friends and family members, but there’s one person who I’ve struggled to make anything for, because of their large head.
      Do I increase the chains for this, or do I just go up a hook or two?
      Please advise.

      • Tera Otto

        If you increase your ribbed band by six rows, this will give you room to put in one more pointy shell. Hope that helps.

    I need help on this. Please explain to me what ‘hdc into the 3rd loop of each st around’ means. The 3rd loop is what is confusing me. Thank you.

    Okay so I’m at the last step with the shell st around the top but I cant for the life of me figure out how you only did 11 of them! I have counted and recounted my stitches and I only have 66 st like it says. But for some reason I can do 16 shell sts. They are supposed to go all around right? And for the shell stich all 2 dc, 2 tr, picot, 2 tr, 2 dc for it go into one single st correct?

    • Erangi Udeshika
      November 15, 2018 at 11:39 AM

      First, you need to follow instructions for shell stitch. After you crochet 2tr in shell st, follow instructions for picots in special stitches. For the picot you need to crochet ch 3, and sl st to the previous tr you just crocheted in shell st.

        I got head sizes for my friend’s 1 year old…18.5″
        For my grandson (3)…19.5″
        For another friend’s granddaughter, 3 yesterday, 19.5″.

        For them all, I must use 80 or more sts. Using Simply Soft and an H hook. For the last row (shells), I use a G hook..much more ‘finished’ looking. I don’t know where you got the sizes and st counts.

        Great pattern, though!

    Thank you for the pattern?

    I am working on the crown ear warmer. Is the 20″ band measured before it is stretched or is it supposed to stretch to 20″. I have finished all 66 rows but without stretching it measures 18″.
    Thank you so much! Thank you for the pattern!

  • Luna

    So the instructions end after row 6. No where is there instructions of picots or tr. I have found this frustrating .

    • Erangi Udeshika
      November 18, 2018 at 9:45 PM

      Hi Luna if you look at carefully in Special stitches part on the pattern you can find how to crochet picot and also shell st. Because the tr is the basic stitch I didn’t put the full instruction. If you google search For tr (treble crochet) stitch, you can find lots of written and video tutorials about how to crochet treble stitch. 🙂

    Hello, would the child size crown fit a 1 year old…..How old do you think the child size would fit…and if the crown had to be made a bit smaller for a 1 year old how many rows of the brim would you need to do..Thank you so much….Love this pattern 🙂

    • Erangi Udeshika
      November 18, 2018 at 9:36 PM

      Hi Katen, you can crochet 48 rows for toddler size. Because the 48 is the next lowest number of multiple 6. Also, you can change crochet hook to a smaller size or change the yarn weight like (light worsted or DK) And follow the child size pattern to make a smaller size ear warmer.

      Hi Krista, I think I spent less an hour to make adult size. I didn’t crochet 100% cotton yarn but if you made out of cotton I hope it will add more stiffness to the ear warmer. 🙂

    I don’t understand how and where the ribbed band is connected to the long part. Is there anywhere that shows pics of each step?

    • Erangi Udeshika
      November 18, 2018 at 9:27 PM

      No need to fasten off or cut the yarn. To sew short sides together you can use the yarn tail about 6″ long we left when starting the pattern. And after sewing, you have a band like a large ring or loop. Now you can insert the hook again the loop we were working, crochet ch 1, work hdc in each st around the long side of the band (around one edge of the ribbed bang) as written in round 1. I hope thi will help. 🙂

      • Kay
        November 18, 2018 at 9:32 PM

        Yes, thank you. I thought the ribbed pat was supposed to be created as part of the long (chain 54) part. Now I know I have to hdc them together.

    On round 2, I keep ending up with 67/68 stitches when I slip stitch to start the next round. After I chain 1 do I follow into the same stitch or start in the next stitch? Appreciate the help

    Hi! I have been trying to make this for my daughters in the child size. I made the band at 54rows and it is way too small. I am using #4 yarn. Idk what i am doing wrong. Any advice???

    • Erangi Udeshika
      January 10, 2019 at 3:42 PM

      Hi Melissa, it could happen due to our crocheting style, and different type of yarns we used. Do you think it will get the right measurement if you change the crochet hook to a larger size? Or with the same hook size you used, you can crochet multiple of 6 rows for the band until you get the desired circumference. 🙂
      Hint: add more 6 rows to the band if you still can’t get it you can add more 6 rows.

    Hello, I watched your video tutorial for the crown earwarmer – I have a question about the last part of the video – after stitching around the points, to help them stand up, the video showed more stitching in the opposite direction – is that correct? I wasn’t able to follow what/why that was being done. Please clarify for me – the crown I made turned out SO cute and I just want to make sure I’m following all of the directions.

    • Erangi Udeshika
      January 17, 2020 at 2:44 PM

      Oh loxie, there is no more round in opposite direction. it was a mistake I made when editing video. I’m left-handed so when making this video for right-handed I had to flip the video. The opposite side you see is the one I couldn’t flip and I haven’t noticed it until now. Sorry for that. 🙂

    Thank you so much for this pattern. I wouldn’t have dared try it until I saw the video. I bought a stocking cap, but, ended up giving it away as it made my hair so full of static electricity. Wore earmuffs but they’re either too big or small. This is just what I need. I hope I can find this again after buying yarn and a hook.

    I love this pattern. Just found it and thought I would find a lot of trouble with the 3rd st. Whoa, it was sooo easy. Your instructions made this such an easy pattern that I can tell, I will be making a few. Thank you for allowing this to be free.

    Just made one for my niece! Used Rose (color)Red Heart With Love in Metallic. Super cute! The points didn’t stand up enough, so I switched to a smaller hook and it came out perfectly ! Thank you for the pattern!
