News — Ear Warmer

I finally got around to working up our Multi Cables Ear Warmer for our SW Merino - BULKY yarns. It is 5" wide and works perfectly as a nice cozy Cowl too. I used US 11 (8 mm) and only 1 skein. But if you prefer a firmer version and use US 10 (6mm) you would need 2 skeins. Instructions for approx. 4" width are included in the instructions. It seems crazy working these bulky yarns at this time of the year. Swarms of mosquitoes were trying to eat me alive while taking the photos. It was snap and run. On the other...

I worked this ear warmer back in 2005 - or before. I decided to make some more, except I couldn't find my notes. 3 days later after multiple attempts I finally figured out what I did. This pattern is easy. You only work cables on 2 of the 8 rows. You can easily adjust the pattern to other weight yarns. Just adjust the needles and either add or delete 8 stitches.  Remember patterns are guides - you are the ULTIMATE boss. Happy Knitting! Lis
