Sizing
The “Snowed In” ear warmer is adaptable to fit any head size, from child to adult. The pattern includes instructions for adjusting the circumference, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit for all ages.
Materials and Yarn
The pattern recommends using worsted weight yarn, requiring approximately 100 to 125 yards (91 to 114 meters) to complete the project. A 5.5 mm (I) crochet hook is suggested to achieve the desired gauge. The choice of worsted weight yarn provides both warmth and stitch definition, enhancing the textured design.
Wool of the Andes would be a great yarn to use as it is 100% superwash wool which would make a nice warm accessory.
