Trailblazer Crochet Earwarmer

The Trailblazer Crochet Earwarmer is a great beginner earwarmer pattern that is both quick and functional. Seriously, I made four of these earwarmers in less than 2 days. That’s how easy they are to make! This is a fantastic pattern if you are new to crochet and only know basic stitches.

Disclosure: There are some affiliate links below, but these are all products I highly recommend. I won’t put anything in this post that I have not personally used or tested.

If you know how to make a slip stitch, then you can make this project. The entire earwarmer is crocheted using the yarn over slip stitch and the traditional slip stitch. Both stitches are very easy and create such beautiful texture. I just love the cinched look these stitches give. This crochet pattern is worked flat in rows and then sewn together to form a circle. Pretty easy, right?

The yarn I used for this pattern is Lion Brand Color Made Easy. You many recognize this yarn from my Rockport Beanie – In Rows and the Rockport Beanie – In the Round. It is a great yarn to use for colder accessories because it’s warm but not too bulky. Not only does this yarn come in 24 gorgeous shades, it also contains a whopping 247 yards! As a result, this allowed me to make 4 crochet earwarmers from just one skein.  

The Trailblazer crochet earwarmer pattern is so quick to make, you’ll want  one in every color! Also, they make for a great gift or stocking stuffer 🙂

Let’s get to the pattern!

The Crochet Trailblazer Earwarmer Pattern

  • Purchase the ad free printer-friendly version of this pattern from my PATTERN shop or you can visit my ETSY or RAVELRY.
  • Pin this earwarmer pattern for later HERE.
 
NOTES
  • Be sure to make the starting chain of the earwarmer rather loose. Slip stitches tend to tighten the fabric.
  • All stitches will be worked in the back “bump” of the starting chain for the first row. 
  • All stitches are worked in the back loop only unless otherwise specified. 
  • If you would like to alter the size of the earwarmer, measure the head circumference in inches and subtract two inches. This will allow the headwarmer to fit snugly and not loose. 
 
ABBREVIATIONS

Slip Stitch (ss)

CROCHET EARWARMER PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS

Chain 59

Row 1 – make a yo ss in the 2nd ch from the hook. Continue to make a yo ss in the next 24 chains. Then, make a ss in the next 8 chains. Next, make a yo ss in every stitch until the end of the chain. (58) You should have 8 traditional slip stitches in the middle with 25 yarn over slip stitches on each side. 

Row 2 – Ch.1 turn, make a yo ss in the first 25 stitches. Then, make a ss in the next 8 stitches. Finish the row with a yo ss in each stitch.  Be sure to go through both loops in the last stitch. This allows for a nice clean edge when sewing. (58)

Rows 3 thru 12 – Repeat Row 2

Bind off leaving approx. 12 inches of yarn for sewing.

Weave in any ends.

Here is what your crochet earwarmer will look like after 12 rows:

SEWING YOUR EARWARMER

Lay earwarmer flat with wrong side facing you. Line up short side together and sew earwarmer together using whatever method you prefer. 

That’s it! You’ve just crocheted yourself a cozy and cute earwarmer!

      MARY, The PDR leads to ERROR 404 Page does not exist. Thought you should know.

      I will make one for myself using ‘J’ Hook, I have smaller head . Band should fit me just right.

      It would help if you had a gauge for the pattern. My head is bigger than average. Making it today….want to wear it tomorrow cause I am having bag hair days! LOL

        Hi Bonnie!

        Thanks for the suggestion. It might be better to measure the circumference of your head. This would give you a better fit. I give details in the pattern 🙂
