Diamonds Ear Warmer – Free Crochet Pattern

Last year, I designed the Chevron Peaks Slouch for the Hat Not Hate campaign and I really loved the technique & crochet stitches that created the design and texture of the hat. I loved it so much that I’ve created and released several new crochet patterns this season and I have several more completing testing that I can’t wait to share with all of you. The Diamonds Ear Warmer is a fun addition to the Diamonds Beanie, Slouch & Messy Bun patterns. You can find the free crochet pattern in this post below, or an ad-free print friendly version on Love Crafts here, Ravelry here, or on Etsy here. *The ad-free PDF includes the beanie, slouch, messy bun & ear warmer patterns in one.

I’ve had so many crocheters reach out to tell me that they LOVED my Chevron Peaks Slouch. I was pleasantly shocked because it was one of those designs that I really didn’t think would garner much attention. All of the positive messages I received were the reason I used the same technique for the argyle stocking and argyle beanie, slouch & messy bun (ear warmer coming soon). I’ve got a couple more fun designs coming your way with this technique too! 

Aren’t personalized leather tags such a great finishing touch to add to our crochet items? I ordered these ones and a couple different wooden ones from an awesome online maker. You can find links to where I purchased and a tutorial on how to attach all of them HERE.

Notes

• The entire pattern is worked in continuous rounds (a spiral). I suggest using a stitch marker to keep track of the round you’re on.
• Yarn Notes: Lion Brand Yarns Wool Ease, Touch of Alpaca & Pound of Love were used for the samples. Another comparable light worsted weight yarn may be used as long as gauge is met.
• Lion Brand Touch of Alpaca: 90% Acrylic / 10% Alpaca (207 yards / 190 m / 100 g / 13.5 oz).
• Lion Brand Pound of Love: 100% Acrylic (1020 yards / 932 m / 454 g / 16 oz).
• Lion Brand Yarns Wool Ease: 80% Acrylic / 20% Wool (197 yds / 180 m / 85 g / 3 oz)
• Pattern Repeats:  In the crochet instructions you’ll see: rep from ( to ) around. The instructions written within the ( ) parentheses are one full pattern repeat. You are to repeat these around the entire ear warmer. The stitch pattern will repeat evenly so you should not have any stitches remaining at the end of each round. 
• Sizing Note: Please note that the sizes are different for the ear warmer than they are for the slouch hat. This is because the diamonds design varies slightly from the hat.
• Changes for sizes are written as follows: Toddler  (Child, Teen/Adult Small, Adult Medium, Adult Large/XL).
