Covering the Hair Hoop:

- Chain two.
Increasing Rounds:
- Make two double crochet stitches into each stitch around for a total of 16 double crochets.

- Next round: Make two double crochets into the first stitch, then one double crochet into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around for a total of 24 double crochets.
- Slip stitch and chain two.
- Following round: Two double crochets into the first stitch, one double crochet into the next two stitches. Continue this pattern around for a total of 32 double crochets.

- Repeat the pattern around with the decreases and two half double crochet stitches.

Final Decreases and Stuffing:

Finishing:
- Use scissors and a needle to close the small opening left in the cushion.
- Position the hair hoop to understand how deep to insert it into the cushions. Mark the depth approximately.
- Use the hot glue gun on the edge of the hair hoop and insert it inside the cushion securing it to the glue.
- Repeat the process for the second cushion.
- Clean up any excess glue and trim ends if necessary.
Result:
- The finished product should be a fluffy, soft, and warm pair of crocheted ear warmers on a hair hoop.
