Barley Ridge Earmwarmer for the Holiday Stashdown 2017 – Free Crochet Pattern

November 20, 2017

*This post contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase by clicking on them, I make a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thanks for your support!

This is my third time participating in the Holiday Stashdown #CALCentralCrochet. I just love being able to go through yarn in my stash, and get some holiday gifts done up. This year there are 16 free crochet patterns being shared, and a great giveaway. Visit my Time for the Holiday Stashdown CAL 2017 page for more information!

This year, I wanted to change up my design. In previous stashdown’s I worked up cowls, but this year, I wanted to make something I could actually wear here in Florida when it gets cold out. Typically, it’s only cold out in the mornings and evenings, and hot during the day – too hot really for a cowl. This earwarmer is easy to stash in a purse or even pocket of large jacket when it gets too warm out, or going inside.

Materials:
     – 50 – 65 Yards of Super Bulky Yarn – I used Wool Ease Thick & Quick Yarn (affiliate link) in the Barley colorway
     – N15/10mm Crochet Hook
     – M13/9mm Crochet Hook for Gauge
     – Yarn Eyed Tapestry Needle OR a Small Crochet Hook (I used a G6/4.25mm hook) for Weaving in Ends

Material Notes:
     Yarn Alternatives: Lion Brand’s Hometown Yarn, Red Heart’s Grande Yarn. You can also try two or three strands of worsted weight yarn held together – this will vary depending on yarn chosen. 

Measurements:
     The Toddler Size is 8.75″ wide to equal a circumference of 17.5″ to fit a head size of 18-20″, and is 3.25″ in length.

The Child Size – Teen/Adult Small Size is 9.75″ wide to equal a circumference of 19.5″ to fit a head size of 20-22″, and is 3.25″ in length.

The Adult Large Size is 10.25″ wide to equal a circumference of 20.5″ to fit a head size of 22-23″, and is 3.25″ in length.

Gauge:
     With an M13/9mm Crochet Hook: 8 SC by 8 Rows = 4″ by 4 1/8″

Abbreviations:
     – FHDC – Foundation Half Double Crochet
     – HDC – Half Double Crochet
     – SC – Single Crochet
     – yo – Yarn Over

Special Stitches:
     Working Into the 3rd Loop: In this pattern, I state to work into the 3rd loop. Where is the 3rd loop? I don’t have a photo tutorial at the moment, but look at the two loops that you normally work into, then rotate just a little so you can see the wrong side of the earmwarmer. See that other loop just behind the back loop of the two loops that you normally work into? That is the 3rd loop! By working into this stitch, it will pull two other two loops forward to create the ridge pattern.

FHDC: Foundation stitches are worked sideways and include the foundation chain and respective stitch. This is a great technique to use if: 1.) You are working something in the round that needs some added flexibility within the beginning chain, such as a hat worked bottom up, wrist warmers, shirts, pants, etc; 2.) You are working a project like a scarf, but don’t know how many stitches you need. You can work the foundation stitch up until it’s long enough.

        To FHDC: Chain 2 (counts as a stitch here). Yo, insert hook into the first chain, yo, pull through (3 loops on hook), yo, pull through first loop (to create foundation chain), yo, pull through the remaining 3 loops. First chain and HDC created. Looking at the stitch in your hand, you should see the top of the HDC to the right, and parallel on the left side, it should look like the opposite side of the beginning foundation chain. You will be working in these stitches on the left. To create the next stitch and each stitch after, yo, insert hook under both loops of the foundation chain (left side), yo, pull through (3 loops on hook), yo, pull through first loop (to create foundation chain), yo, pull through the remaining 3 loops.
 
Pattern Notes:
     You will be working in a continuous round to avoid an unsightly seam. 
 
If you don’t want to work a Foundation Half Double Crochet to start the earmwarmer with, you can loosely work a beginning chain of 41, and work into the back bump of the 3rd stitch from the hook, and into each stitch across, then proceed to Round 2.
 
Instructions for the toddler size are shown, with the other two sizes in parenthesis.


Pattern:
Chain 2. FHDC 37 (41, 43). Do NOT join. (38, 42, 44 HDC)

R2: Working into the 3rd loop: SC into the next HDC, HDC into each of the next 37 (41, 43) HDC. Do NOT join. [1 SC, 37 (41, 43) HDC]

R3 – 5: Working into the 3rd loop: HDC into the next HDC, and into each of the next 37 (41, 43) HDC. Do NOT join. (38, 42, 44 HDC)

R6: Working into the 3rd loop, SC into the next 2 HDC, skip the next stitch, and then slip stitch into the back loop (not 3rd loop) of the next stitch.

Fasten Off, and Weave in Ends.

    Hi. I have a question about row 6
    As written we only work in the first 4 stitches of the previous row and the fasten off.
    Is this correct or do repeat some stitch pattern across the whole row?

      Just two half double crochets, and the slip stitch. This is to even out the piece from working in the continous round.

    Okay. It says that we’ll be working in continuous rounds but at the end of every row you say not to join. That doesn’t make sense to me because when working in the round you join after every round so now I’m really confused. Are we working in the round or turning it and seaming it together when finished?

    Whenever it says “continuous round” it basically means a spiral. Continously working with no seam [seams are made by joining].

    I see where it seems I could use some clarification. After the foundation chain, bring your chain together as if to join it to make a ring, but don’t join, instead, begin working into the 3rd loop. Later, you will use the beginning tail to sewn up the small gap at the beginning.

Hey! I'm Alexandra, the blogger and creator behind EyeLoveKnots and On Rockwood Lane! My passion is being creative. My favorite thing to do is crochet, and you will almost always find me having a cup of coffee and working on a new crochet project, but when I'm not doing that, you might find me out at a local park rollerblading, baking some fresh cookies, picking veggies in the garden or re-decorating for a new season or holiday. My two cats are great supervisors for all my adventures (minus the being outside because they think it's too hot in Florida to be anywhere but inside), and make sure I take plenty of breaks.
