This Earwarmer is worked in the round as a tube and then the ends are sewn together. Alternately, this piece can be worked flat by casting on 2 extra stitches and then seamed into a tube before sewing the ends together. Slip stitch surface crochet is used to add the vertical lines. Yarn amounts will be enough to make all three color combinations shown.
