Little Pebbles Earwarmer – Free Crochet Pattern

January 9, 2021

This is a free crochet pattern for how to crochet the Little Pebbles Earwarmer – an easy earwarmer pattern worked in an easy textured pattern created with simple single and treble crochets. Four sizes included.

I am a sucker for texture, and I just love the look and feel of this stitch pattern that made it’s first appearance a few years ago in this washcloth free crochet pattern. After publishing the Little Pebbles Scarf, I knew I needed a matching earwarmer. I hardly ever have my hair down, so earwarmers are one of my go-to cold weather accessories.

After I worked the scarf in a beautiful, neutral gray, I thought I’d work the earwarmer in the coordinating color from this year’s Pantone colors. Really the gray is darker, but gray and yellow are still great together. Find out more about the Pantone colors HERE.

This earwarmer is a simple two row repeat perfect for when you’re binge watching your favorite show. The stitch pattern is beginner friendly comprised of simple single crochets and treble crochets. With four sizes included, you can make one for each member of the family!

Make a matching Little Pebbles Scarf using this free crochet pattern!

Materials:

  • 50 (63, 63, 71) Yards of Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver in Saffron)
  • I9/5.5mm Crochet Hook
  • Tapestry Needle

Material Notes:

Yarn Alternatives: Lion Brand’s Basic Stitch, Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn, Red Heart’s Soft, Bernat’s Super Value.

If you have concerns about using Red Heart Super Saver and similar because of the roughness and stiffness of the fabric, I have a couple tips!

  • If the yarn is too rough for your hands to crochet with, remove the skein wrapper, place the skein into a mesh lingerie bag (I bought mine at JoAnn’s), then machine wash it by itself on the gentle cycle in cold water with a mild detergent. Once it’s finished, toss it into the dryer on low heat – you may need to run it through 2 – 3 times to get the center dry.
  • To add softness and better drape to the finished piece, crochet in it’s entirety and weave in the ends, then wash and dry in the same manner (without the lingerie bag) or simply dry once with a dryer sheet.

Time Spent:

For the adult small size, I had my earwarmer ready in just under 1 hour.

Measurements:

  • Toddler: 3.38″ (that’s 3 3/8″) Tall by 9″ Wide to fit a head circumference of 18 – 20″
  • Child: 3.94″ (that’s 3 15/16″) Tall by 9.63″ (or 9 5/8″) Wide to fit a head circumference of 20 – 22″
  • Teen/Adult Small: 3.94″ (that’s 3 15/16″) Tall by 9.63″ (or 9 5/8″) Wide to fit a head circumference of 20 – 22″
  • Adult Large: 3.94″ (that’s 3 15/16″) Tall by 10.75″ (or 10 3/4″) Wide to fit a head circumference of 22 – 23″

Gauge:

11 HDC = 3″ Wide; 9 Rows = 3 1/8″

Abbreviations (US):

  • FSC – Foundation Single Crochet
  • How to FSC: Chain 2. Insert hook into the first chain, yo, pull through, yo, pull through first loop (to create foundation chain), yo, pull through two loops on hook. First chain and SC created. Looking at the stitch in your hand, you should see the top of the SC 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, insert hook under both loops of the foundation chain (left side) yo, and pull through, yo, pull through first loop, yo, pull through 2 remaining loops.
  • SC – Single Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
  • TR – Treble Crochet

Pattern Notes:

A foundation single crochet (or FSC) is recommended for beginning as a beginning chain can limit the amount of stretch on a finished project, and here we don’t want that earwarmer to feel too tight or restrictive. Alternatively, you can use one size larger crochet hook, and work a beginning chain of the number of stitches, then slip stitch join. Switch to correct crochet hook, and work a round of single crochet (the larger hook is to add more flexibility).

Beginning chain does not count as a stitch.

Slip stitch join to the 1st stitch of the round.

Stitch multiple is 2.

Pattern:

Chain 2, then FSC 60 (64, 64, 72). Join. [60 (64, 64, 72) SC]

R2: Chain 1, and turn. SC into the 1st stitch, TR into the next stitch, (SC into the next stitch, TR into the next stitch) 29x (31x, 31x, 35x). Join. [60 (64, 64, 72) stitches]

R3: Chain 1, and turn. SC into the 1st stitch, and each across. Join. [60 (64, 64, 72) SC]

R4 – 11 (13, 13, 13): Repeat Rows 2 – 3.

Fasten off, and weave in ends.

    My treadmill broke before Christmas and before I could get a new one, I was running outside in the cold… and, it was freezing! A lot of gal runners had these ear headband warmers!! I need to get one. I love this one AND that cozy scarf! So cute styled on you!

      Props to you! It’s 60s here in Florida, and I don’t want to be out running. Can’t imagine in a colder place like where you are. Hehe. But yes! These are great for all outdoor activities.

    That ear warmer looks so cosy, what a cute colour on you too! Your top made me giggle as well 🙂

    Hope that you had a great weekend! Ours was a nice quiet one at home with the 3 day Brisbane lockdown, but lockdown ends tonight as there have been no more cases 🙂

      Hehe. I thought the top was too funny not to get, and fits great. So glad to hear you guys are out of lockdown! Luckily we have not been on lockdown here in Florida (unlike some other states), but still feels like things are just so up in the air. Hard not knowing.

    Gorgeous earwarmer and scarf! I love the colours! I’ve decided I’m going to learn to crochet and improve on my knitting as I really enjoy making things. When I’ve mastered the basics I’ll give this pattern a try. Thanks for linking up!

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.
