How to Knit a Ski Ear Warmer156

Ski ear warmers are a must-have accessory for anyone who enjoys spending time on the slopes. They keep your ears warm and protected from the cold, and they can also add a touch of style to your ski outfit. If you're looking for a fun and easy project to knit, a ski ear warmer is a great option.

Materials* Worsted weight yarn (I used Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick in the color Oatmeal)
* US size 10 (6mm) circular knitting needles, 16 inches long
* Tapestry needle

Gauge* 4 stitches and 6 rows = 1 inch in stockinette stitch

Instructions1. Cast on 32 stitches.
2. Join in the round, being careful not to twist the stitches.
3. Knit around until the piece measures 3 inches long.
4. Begin decreasing stitches. To decrease, knit two stitches together at the beginning of every other row.
5. Continue decreasing stitches until there are 16 stitches remaining.
6. Cut the yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail.
7. Thread the tail through the remaining stitches and pull tight to close the hole.
8. Weave in any loose ends.

Finishing* Fold the ear warmer in half and sew the two ends together.
* Embroider or attach a pom-pom to the top of the ear warmer, if desired.

Tips* If you want a thicker ear warmer, use a bulkier yarn.
* If you want a narrower ear warmer, cast on fewer stitches.
* If you want a longer ear warmer, knit more rows before beginning to decrease stitches.
* You can customize your ear warmer by adding stripes, cables, or other stitches.
* Be sure to check the gauge of your knitting before beginning to ensure that the ear warmer will fit properly.

Pattern Notes* This pattern is written for an adult-sized ear warmer. To make a child-sized ear warmer, cast on fewer stitches.
* This pattern can be easily modified to make a headband. Simply knit the piece to the desired length and then bind off the stitches.
* This pattern is a great way to use up leftover yarn.

ConclusionSki ear warmers are a quick and easy project to knit, and they make a great gift for friends and family. With a little bit of creativity, you can customize your ear warmer to match your own personal style. So grab your needles and yarn and get started on one today!
