❄️ Looks twisted. Totally isn’t.

This cozy earwarmer has the look of a chic front twist without actually twisting anything. A clever “C” seam does all the work for a polished, modern finish with almost no bulk.

It works up fast in the Wheat Stitch™, and with 7 sizes, newborn through adult large, it’s the cozy gift you’ll make again and again.

✨ What makes it work

• Easy four-row repeat. Worked flat in rows and quick to memorize.
• Fits right. Crochet the length to fit around the head, then build the width.
• The faux twist. A “C” style seam creates the twist look with minimal bulk.
• Extra fluffy option. Hold it double with mohair for a halo.
• You’re not on your own. Video tutorial and written pattern included.
