Crochet Star Stitch Ear Warmer

Materials Needed:

• Number 4 weighted yarn (e.g., Ice Yarns Picasso or any preferred yarn)
• Darning needle
• Scissors
• Two stitch markers
• 5 mm crochet hook

Pattern:

For Step 1: Starting Chain

• Create a slip knot.
• Use the 5 mm crochet hook to make a foundation chain of 72. If you need to adjust for size, ensure the chain number is even.

Step 2: Row 1 - Establishing Base

• Place a stitch marker to denote the beginning of the round.
• Single crochet into the second chain from the hook.
• Continue single crocheting in each chain until the end of the row, totaling 71 single crochet stitches.

Step 3: Row 2 - Starting Star Stitch

• Chain three, making sure it's loose, and turn the work.
• Use stitch marker at the top of the chain.
• Pull up a loop from the second chain from the hook.
• Continue pulling up loops until you have six loops on the hook, following the pattern as described for the star stitch.
• Yarn over, pull through all six loops, and chain one. This is your first star stitch.
• Continue repeating the star stitch process across the row.

In Step 4: Row 3 - Single Crochet Row

• Chain one and turn the work.
• Start with a single crochet in the half double crochet stitch from previous row.
• Put a single crochet stitch in the first eye of the star stitch.
• Then, in every eye of the following star stitches, work two single crochets.

Step 5: Next Rows - Repeat Star Stitch Rows

• Repeat the process from Row 2 for the star stitches and Row 3 for the single crochet row until the desired number of rows are completed for the ear warmer's width.

Final Rows:

• After completing the last repeat of the star stitch row, chain one, turn your work, and single crochet across the entire row for a sturdy edge.
• Complete the final row by slip stitching across, giving tension for a better fit.

Finishing:

• Do not turn the work. Start slip stitching the two ends together while the work is inside out. Be sure to slip stitch through both layers to sew the ends.
• Fasten off the yarn and weave in all the ends securely.

Final Touch:

• Flip the work right side out and your ear warmer is complete.
