Free Pattern – Headband/Earwarmers

February 21, 2010 by Terrye

headband-pattern-free

Up here in the frozen North (it’s been snowing now for about 4 months, and there’s not really an end in sight, but we’re used to that, we revel in it, we can take it, bring it on and all that), we live in “layers”. There are some days when there’s not been an ear warmer/headband ever knitted that will take on -40F. And then the days get warmer (“warm” is relative, when it’s -40 one week, the next week +20 is “warm”), a headband/ear warmer is just the ticket!

This free pattern, knitted in bulky yarn will have your ears all warmed up in no time at all. http://tmatthewsfineart.blogspot.com/2010/01/free-knitting-pattern-headband-ear_15.html

    Thanks Terrye! I have been stash busting with headbands lately. Can always use a new pattern!

    This is cute – my daughter is a pony-tail girl, so she doesn’t like to wear a hat, but a nice headband?!! Nice! Like Becky, I’ve got plenty of nice stash to whip some up.

    I love this and I love that it uses a button so that you can use it around your hairstyle! I’m also a pony-tail girl and love headbands in the winter, though the stretch over your head kind tend to still wreak havoc on the style.

    Thank you for publishing your pattern for free! These headbands/ear warmers are a HUGE here in Alaska! I kept contemplating buying one to take it apart so I could figure out how to make them. Now, I can without having to buy one. I’m not one to buy things I like if I can make them myself! Super easy pattern!!! Thank you again!

    I have been wanting to make some of these headbands for my granddaughters in Collage. I was going to buy one the other day but I thought $10 was too much for such a small amt. of yarn. Now I can make them in their school colors. Thank you so much for posting them.

Have you read?

Knit a Hat with a Flock of Chickens

It’s well known (among knitters, anyway) that knitters seem to love chickens as a motif and a subject of our knitting projects. The Emotional Support Chicken and all the other chicken knitting patterns are just the beginning of our devotion to farmyard friends. 

For example, there’s Farmer Dennis’ Chicken Hat. This free pattern from Stacy Black is a simple worsted weight beanie sized for adults and decorate with a couple of little rounds of colorwork fences and a flock of chickens strutting around the body of the hat. 

You don’t need a lot of any of the colors for the chickens, their facial features or the fences, so this is a great project for using little leftover bits from other projects. The main color for the body of the hat is less than a skein using the yarn suggested, so you might just have everything you need in your house to start stitching up this hat right away. 

The colorwork is presented as a chart, with a 16 stitch section that repeats around the body of the hat. All the color changes are shown on the chart but I think it would be easier to knit the whole chicken in the chicken color and add the eye, beak and other features using duplicate stitch when the knitting is done. That way you don’t have to carry those yarns around the whole hat for just a few stitches. 

As the name suggests, the original hat was given to a farmer who shared their eggs, but anyone who raises chickens or just has a thing for the fowl is sure to love this cute hat. It wouldn’t be too difficult for someone new to stranded knitting or reading charts to make, either, so if that’s you, give it a try. 

The pattern is available for free on Ravelry.
