Cozy Cabled Ear Warmer

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. "
