In dreaming of cooler weather, I decided to make a few winter accessories today. I didn’t think I would love this ear warmer headband THIS much but I am obsessed! I’m excited to share this pattern with all of you because it’s a quick and simple project that I know you will love.
The stitches uses in this project are simple to do, even though I had to remix the traditional bean stitch and kind of combine it with a puff stitch to get the look I was going for. No worries though, it’s very simple and I explain in the pattern below just how to do it.

Fasten off, weave in ends.
Lay both end pieces beside each other overlapping in the middle. Fold one side over the back and the other side over the front making a “c” with both sides. Pictured below.
Using a piece of yarn and your yarn needle, stitch them together.
Tie off and weave in any ends and turn your work so that your seam is to the inside.
