How to Crochet an Ear Warmer with Buttons
Part 1: Starting
R1:Â ch 6 sts
R2:Â in the 3rd st from the hook, make a hdc st, hdc in each st across. (4sts)
R3:Â ch 2, turn, make 2 hdc sts in the first st, hdc in the next 2 sts, in the last st, make 2 hdc sts. (6)
R4: ch 2, turn, hdc in each st across. (6)
R5: ch 2, turn, make 2 hdc sts in the first st, hdc in the next 4 sts, in the last st, make 2 hdc sts. (8)
R6: ch 2, turn, hdc in each st across. (8)
R7: ch 2, turn, make 2 hdc sts in the first st, hdc in the next 6 sts, in the last st, make 2 hdc sts. (10)
R8: ch 2, turn, hdc in each st across. (10)
R9: ch 2, turn, make 2 hdc sts in the first st, hdc in the next 8 sts, in the last st, make 2 hdc sts. (12)
R10: ch 2, turn, hdc in each st across. (12)
Part 2: Ear Warmer Main Body
R11-55: ch 2, turn, hdc in each st across. (12)
Repeat this row until the headband measures a few inches short of your total desired length. For me this was 55 rows before I started to decrease it.
R56: ch 2, turn, make dec hdc across the first 2 sts, hdc in the next 8 sts, in the last 2 sts, make a hdc dec st. (10)
R57: ch 2, turn, hdc in each st across. (10)
R58: ch 2, turn, make dec hdc across the first 2 sts, hdc in the next 6 sts, in the last 2 sts, make a hdc dec st. (8)
Part 3: Making the Button Hole
In order to make the button closure, you will need to decrease the number of stitches and then create a hole that will be used to thread the button through later. Here’s how I recommend doing it.
R59: ch 2, turn, hdc in the first 2 sts, ch 4 sts, skip the next 4 sts, hdc in the last 2 sts. (4 hdc, 4 sc)
R60: ch 2, turn, make dec hdc across the first 2 sts, hdc in the next 4 ch sts, in the last 2 sts, make a hdc dec st. (6)
R61: ch 2, turn, hdc in each st across. (6)
R62: ch 2, turn, make dec hdc across the first 2 sts, hdc in the next 2 sts, in the last 2 sts, make a hdc dec st. (4)
R63: ch 2, turn, hdc in each st across. (4)
Hiding Loose Ends
Before you are finished, make sure to take your crochet hook and weave in any loose ends of the yard so that they are nicely hidden away.
Part 4: Adding A Flower
R1: make a MR, in the mr, (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc,)x4, join with a sl st to the first sc. Pull the mr tight.
R2: ch 1, working on the back side, sl st around the first dc, (ch 4, sl st around the next dc), repeat 2 more times. Ch 4, sl st to the starting ch st. (4 ch sps)
R3: ch 3, working around the first ch 4 sts make, dc, hdc, sc, skip to the next ch 4 sp, make (sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc), repeat 2 more times, in the first ch space make, sc, hdc, join with a sl st to the first st.
R4: turn it over, ch 1, (sl st around the back of the dc, ch 4, sl st around the sc st, ch 4,) repeat around. Join with a sl st. (8 ch 4 sps)
R5: ch 1, turn, working in the ch 4 sps, (sc, hdc, 3 dc, hdc, sc) repeat around. Join with a sl st.
Finishing:
Use a yarn needle and sew the flower onto the ear warmer as desired. Then use a needle and thread to sew the button onto the opposite end of the headband as your button hole. Make sure it is secured well. Then trim or weave in any remaining yarn tails.
Crochet Ear Warmer Sizes
You can easily make this crochet ear warmer pattern in different sizes. The easiest way to do this is to measure the head circumference of the person you want to make the ear warmer headband for. Then create your ear warmer. So that the total length is slightly less than the head circumference of the person you want to make it for. If you do not have the head measurement of the person you want to make this for, you can follow these measurements:
Average adult size: 22 inches long
Average child size: 18-20 inches long
Average toddler size: 16-19 inches long
To make the finished size of the ear warmer so that it fits just right, you will want to adjust the number of rows in the main body of the headband so that it makes the finished size approximately the size that you need. You will want to leave the starting and the ending the same so that the button hole and button enclosure still work out correctly.

Pattern Tips and Tricks
Using basic stitches
This crochet pattern uses basic stitches to make the ear warmer headband. The main stitches that are used in this pattern are the chain stitch, single, crochet stitch, half double crochet, stitch, and slip stitch. If you are unsure how to make these basic stitches, please visit our learning how to crochet tutorial to see the step-by-step instructions. You will also need to know how to make an increase stitch, which is assembly making two of the directed stitches in the same space, as well as a decrease stitch, which is when you combine two stitches into one to decrease the overall stitch count in that row.
Making a warmer headband
Sometimes you want to make a warmer headband so that your ears stay extra warm in the cold weather. An easy way to do this is to increase the yarn size that you use. A nice bulky yarn will make an even warmer ear warmer for the extra cold weather. I like to use a number five bulky weight yarn for this. Just make sure to increase your crochet hook size that is needed. You may also want to decrease the number of rows. You make the main body part of the crocheted ear warmer so that it is not too big around.
