Crochet Pattern: Ear Warmer with Interchangeable Flowers

Posted in Best Crochet Patterns on September 30th, 2012 by Rachel Choi – 1 Comment
There’s a new pattern in the Crochet Spot Store! Here is a unique ear warmer pattern that has 3 interchangeable flower appliques. The appliques are attached to the ear warmer with a single button in the center of the flower. The flowers are easily removable so that you can change out the flowers for a different look. You can even wear the ear warmer flowerless by tucking the button to the back. This ear warmer can be made for adults, children, toddlers and even babies! The pattern is not recommended for beginner crocheters due to the complexity of the double layered flowers.
