Hope Ear Warmer
When the weather starts to get cold here in Michigan, one of my favorite accessories to help beat the chill is an ear warmer. I love that I can still wear my hair piled up all messy on the top of my head — or, if it’s a good hair day, down and wavy — because a cozy ear warmer will look great either way.

Chunky Crochet Ear Warmer
This pattern was inspired by Krista over at Rescued Paw Designs. She had made a super cute Crochet Ear Warmer Pattern and I just knew I had to make something similar with one of my favorite crochet stitches. The Moss Stitch is a go-to stitch when I’m making statement pieces like scarves, cowls and my latest slouchy beanie hat with a pompom. I also knew how much my girls would enjoy the “bow” look that happens when a headwrap is gathered in a certain spot. This little ear warmer worked up in less than 20 minutes!
