The Cardamom Earwarmer is the perfect classic, cozy accessory for scrap busting. The stitch pattern coordinates with the Cardamom Wrap so that you can make a matching set. It has great stretch to ensure a snug fit. With the yarn held double, your ears will stay toasty warm. The rhythmic stitch pattern is simple to learn and mesmerizing to look at. This is a great beginner-friendly, introductory pattern to mohair or suri alpaca. This pattern is written in US terminology.

Any fingering weight yarn held with a lace weight mohair/suri/angora

The final yarn weight is bulky. I held Rowan Alpaca Classic double. You can obtain this weight by mixing multiple yarns together as you desire, as long as you meet gauge. For example:
Worsted + lace weight mohair/suri = bulky
DK + DK = bulky
DK + lace weight + lace weight = bulky
DK + fingering + lace weight = bulky
fingering + fingering + lace weight + lace weight = bulky
This is a great stash busting project!
