Twisted Trio Ear Warmers
Hi everyone :)
I wanted to cast a little spotlight onto the Twisted Trio Ear Warmers that we released not too long ago. I have been busy making lots of these as stocking fillers this year for my close friends and family. I’ve even made a few for baby bump - I can’t wait to see how cute she looks in them! I can just picture my little family out for a frosty morning walk wearing our cute ear warmers.

This pattern is perfect for those of you who want a gentle introduction into using colourwork as part of your crochet projects. They’re small enough that you can make them using yarn from your stash too :) If you’re not quite ready for colourwork they also look beautiful made using a plain or variegated yarn.
There are three motifs included within the pattern file - rainbows, hearts and zigzags. Each motif comes in a smaller and larger size so that the ear warmers can be made in every size from newborn up to large adult.
Both written and graphical instructions are available for each motif, so that those of you who work better visually can do so. We’ve also included a photo and video tutorial explaining how to assemble your ear warmer if you wish to include the beautiful knot detail - I like to wear my knot at the front, but others prefer to wear it at the back in order to show off their colourwork.
Here are the links to the videos that you may find handy when crocheting our ear warmers:
Our testers did a fabulous job in ironing out any kinks in this pattern, and just look at the stunning work that they produced!
