The Yarn T
A couple of weeks ago, while yarn shopping at Michaels I found the prettiest yarn from Lion Brand called Moonlight, which is part of the Thick & Quick yarn line. I was instantly drawn to the colors!
Wool-Ease Thick and Quick
This yarn is made by Lion Brand, and is a Weight 6 – Super Bulky yarn.
Fiber: Acrylic (80%), Wool (20%)
Yardage: 106 yards (87 in prints/stripes, 92 in metallic)
Hook: 9 mm (M/N-13)
Substitute: Lion Brand Hometown USA
Take a look at the yarn below and let me know what you think.
This colorway is becoming one of my favorites (behind Hudson Bay, of course) because of its self-striping blue, gray, white, and light brown subtle hues.
After debating, I decided to call this pattern the “Moonlight Ear Warmer” since it reminds me of a moonlit night sky. Do you see it too?
Check Headband Gauge for Proper Fit
Once you start this pattern, I would suggest checking your gauge to make sure you get the proper fit. If you do need to make it bigger or smaller, use a starting chain in a multiple of two to change the size of the headband.

This is an excellent easy quick pattern. I did an additional round of slip stitches for the end round to make both sides more even size and left a longer tail for a bigger knot on the cinch. Thanks for the pattern!
I am so glad you liked this ear warmer pattern Courtney! Good idea about the slip stitches to give it more of a finished look. 🙂 Have a great week!

I just made my first one and had to make more chains so it would fit my head and I have a pretty small head. Also when I was done mine only measured 3.5″ high. Is anyone else having this issue or know what I may have done wrong?
Hi Amber,
How many stitches do you have for every 2″ of your headband? It should be approximately 3 stitches for every 2 inches. Also if you are working with a different yarn that can change the finished size too.
Thnks so much for this very easy pattern. I put buttons on the ones i made. I made 7 n no time. I`m fairly new to crocheting and the easier the better. I`m teaching myself to read patterns. That is something i was never taught. My mom tryed to teach me to crochet but now that i`m older i have more patience and friends to help me when i dont understand the pattern. Thnks for the pattern and will be looking forward to more patterns to come.
You are welcome Patti! I am glad you liked the pattern! <3

You are welcome Rosalie! I’m glad you love it!

Pretty, pretty, pretty! Thank you so much for this terrific pattern that is easy and quick so I can make one for all the women in my family! I will then string together any leftover yarn for a wild and funky one for myself!
