Cozy Cabled Ear Warmer
"I am so excited to be able to share this new FREE crochet pattern with you today, as it is very near and dear to my heart. And come to think of it… it isn’t even new at all! This is the first pattern I ever designed which was more than 6 years ago! I created this ear warmer as a way to practice the new skill I had just learned: crochet cables! Cable Crochet Created by alternating rows of bpdc, fptr, bpdc, fpdc with skipping stitched to create a “cabled” look. On the WS use back-post, on the RS use front-post. See images. "
