Twisty Ear Warmer

When I saw this yarn, with its softness and thickness, I knew I wanted to make something with it. I decided to start with an Ear Warmer so that I could try it out first. After I finished, I knew I had made the right decision. This ear warmer is just what is needed for this coming weather. The warmth and softness is perfect. The pattern is very easy to make and uses only one ball of yarn. I have already made several of them for family and friends for Christmas gifts.
