The Slightly Twisted Ear Warmer Crochet Pattern only looks like it’s twisted. It’s all in the sewing! If you know how to crochet a rectangle, you can definitely make this ear warmer.
Let’s talk yarn! I used bulky weight (category 5) yarn in the colorway Scattered Thoughts. The yarn is available in my shop! With one skein you can make 2 kid’s size ear warmers, or 1 adult and 1 kid’s!

Lay the rectangle right side up, horizontally. Fold both ends. Bring them up together. In the first photo the corners are labelled 1 & 2 on the left and 3 & 4 on the right. Place corner 3 inside of the fold on the left. Place corner 2 inside of the fold on the right. Hold them tightly together. Sew it closed with a whip stitch. Make sure to go through all 4 layers. Fasten off. Weave in the ends.

Beautiful headbands!
Where can I purchase the yarn?
Thank you
Hi! This is yarn I dyed myself. I do not dye any longer 🙂
I like it! After I make it, I’ll show you.
Could you add some simple line drawings to show how the ends connect? The yarn you used is very pretty but it’s hard to see how to line it up. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this quick working pattern. I used two strains of #4 acrylic Yarn Bee soft secret and it worked up beautifully.
Yay! Awesome!
I did it!! Finally learned to crochet the half double foundation chain!! I don’t know why I had trouble but following your instructions this time, I finally did it. I was determined to learn bc I wanted to make this twisted ear warmer. Perfect for my 3 teenage granddaughters. Just one little tiny suggestion, could you use a lighter color yarn in your instructions to make it easier to follow? I hate even asking you this bc you’ve given us so many free patterns, beautiful yarn, etc. When I first started following you I had a question about one of your shawl patterns. I was using your yarn too. You said something like sometimes you might be off on a stitch count by 1 or 2 stitches but who’s going to count? Just as long as it doesn’t completely throw the pattern off. I’ve become a much more relaxed crocheter after reading that. Thanks!
