Double Button Headband
Free Crochet Ear Warmer Headband Pattern
Looking for a simple and easy crochet headband pattern that you can make in an afternoon? If yes, then you just found one. This is a quick and easy fashionable crochet ear warmer headband with buttons closure that will keep your ears warm during those cold winter days.
The pattern itself is easy to follow and mainly uses basic stitches of single crochet, double crochet, and chains, except for a puff stitch that after you work out a few you will not need the pattern.
If you are like me you most likely have several head wraps. I do not like the cold, leave alone cold ears. That is why when fall nears, I start making sure I have my headbands ready. I like to design hair bands that are simple and easy, something I can make in an afternoon and as a last-minute gift.

Yarn
I used Redheart Super Saver 100% Acrylic 5 oz (141 g), 260 yds (238 m), a worsted weight yarn in Aran Fleck.
The yarn was easy to work with and I love the final product. The headband is warm, soft, and cozy.
You can use any worsted weight (4) yarn but remember, this yarn is on the thicker side of the worsted yarn and therefore I would make a swatch or measure on your head or whoever you are making for to make sure it fits well depending on which yarn you use.
