This is a very simple pattern that can be worked up in less than 20 mins. The pattern is worked up in rows. Ear savers are used with masks with elastic loops so that the loop doesn’t have to go around the ears to prevent chafing. There are two types of ear savers; one without the whole in the middle (here) and one with. This one is for use with a ponytail so that the ear saver holds up when you change the mask. The finished dimensions are approximately 5 x 2” (12.5 x 5 cm).
