And now that some time has passed (and with Valentine’s Day on the horizon!) I’m excited to be able to share the Love Is Cold Ear Warmer pattern here on Moogly!

  • 2 sizes are included, and stitch counts in the pattern are listed as Small 20-22”(Large 22-24”).

VIDEO TUTORIAL: Love Is Cold Ear Warmer Tutorial

NOTES:

  • Standard instructions are given for Round 1, but if you are familiar with or willing to learn foundation double crochet, then you can substitute 50(60) fdc for the Round 1 instructions. This will give a much stretchier and more elastic ear warmer.
  • In Round 5, when you pull up the loop and remove the hook, placing a stitch marker in the loop will help you not lose stitches.
  • For crochet abbreviations and tutorials see the Crochet Abbreviations page.

      I am struggling with Round 7 as well, would love some tips. Not sure if I should be working over the Round 6, in front of, behind? Thanks!

        Basically, you enclose Rnd 6 when working into Rnd 5, and then work into it when not directed to work into Rnd 5. 🙂 I’ll be making a video this week!

            Hi Gigi! The video is up! You can find it on the home page on Moogly, or you can take another look at the pattern – it’s linked at Round 7. 🙂

      I was having trouble understanding Row 7 too, was trying to do all the instructing into row 5, but the only time you need to work in to row 5 is when you are doing sc2tog, hdc2tog or dc2tog over the top of the 2 ch in row 6
      So when it says [ch 1, skip 1 st, sc in the next st, this is into the top of the 5dc we did in red.
      Hope this help 😉

    Hi Tamara, I’m on row 6, have counted my stitches and do have 50 (making the small one) pattern calls for dc/hdc/dc 6times, in order to be able to finish the round I am needing to make an extra shell. Help please! Thank you

    I love this pattern! Worked up in a flash. I used t-shirt yarn. It’s soft and snug for now. This is an experiment, to see if t-shirt yarn works for something that needs to hold its shape. This way it’s not too too hot, for my space heater of a kid. Thank you so much for sharing!

    Hi. I am trying to print this pattern with your Printer Friendly button but it seems to not be working. I prefer to work from paper as using the internet burns my internet time. Help with printing would be welcome. I’d like to crochet this as a gift. Thank you.

      Hi Barbara! That button seems to be on the fritz lately. Please go to PrintFriendly.com and enter the URL for the pattern there. That usually works when the button is being stubborn.

    I loved making this. Take the extra time to use the foundation stitch, the chain method was definitely not stretchy enough and didn’t fit. Remade using foundation stitch and it was much better.

    I know I must have done something wrong but with all the crocheting stitchesvtogether, I m not starting out row 8with the equivalent. ,Stitch’s /spaces to complete round 8. Is there multiply crochet in some stitches of round 8? Hope this is making sense
