My mom was a teenager in the 1950’s when she and her friends wore their cherished angora ear warmers. In the Midwest, this fashion trend was affectionately called a “jibber”. She asked me the other day if I could knit her one. After her vivid description, I began my online search and came up empty-handed. Here is my rendition of the jibber. The finished product, when knitted with 100% angora, is super light weight and lusciously warm. Enjoy!
