Alpen Ear Warmer – Free Pattern

Sharing is caring!

Soft, cozy, and warm…my favorite things about cold weather! Bundling up with cozy accessories, with a hot latte or cup of tea in hand! When I set to design the Alpen Ear Warmer I kept the soft and snuggly in mind while of course including some texture!

Soft and Warm

The Alpen Ear Warmer works up really quick, using bulky yarn!

The pattern is worked in the round then you can cinch closed or leave open!

The stitches stand out with with regular yarn or have a nice cozy look with a fuzzy yarn!
