That means it’s easy to make plenty of crochet ear warmers without my hands aching. This free crochet pattern includes plenty of sizes, so you can even crochet matching sets.
Another way I keep my hands healthy is with my ergonomic hooks. They keep me crocheting without pain. I love the combination of comfort and smooth glide in my Furls Streamline Swirl crochet hooks.

Yarn
For these ear warmers I used a #4 weight yarn, Red Heart Super Saver in Aran. I definitely think this will be a fun pattern to try in different colors and maybe even variegated yarn.
Stitch
The crochet alpine stitch has all the texture! It’s a mix of single crochet, double crochet stitches and front post treble crochet stitches.
I’ve included a row by row tutorial for the ear warmer pattern below. However, if you’d like more support there are tutorials specific to this stitches.
