Picots and Purls Ear Warmer
Attractive decorative edges are formed by picot turn ridges. An ingenious construction creates a double layer of warmth. The reversible band boasts color-coded purls on one side and it’s flippable to a stockinette side made smooth with seamless Kitchener grafting. Plus, it all starts with a provisional cast on.
Packed with techniques to learn and practice, this pattern is a perfect stash buster for your fingering weight remnants. Three sizes mean it is suitable for most adult heads.
