Using the 19mm needles, cast on 63 stitches using the long tail cast on method. (If you'd like to change the size of the ear warmer, adjust the number of stitches you cast on.)
Row 1 (right side): [k2tog tbl and only drop the first stitch] Repeat until there is only one stitch remaining on the left needle. To finish the row, slip the stitch through the back onto the right needle. Turn your work.
Row 2 (wrong side): [p2tog and only drop the first stitch] Repeat until there is one stitch remaining on the left needle. To finish the row, slip the stitch onto the right needle purl wise. Turn your work.
Rows 3 - 12: Repeat rows 1 and 2 until you have a total of 12 rows or your work measures your preferred width. (You can adjust the width of the ear warmer by increasing or decreasing the number of rows knit. Make sure that you end on a wrong side row as you will need to cast off on a right side row).
The next row is the cast off row. Use the 12mm needles to cast off.
Row 13: Cast off in pattern. Leave a long tail for sewing the ends of the earwarmer together.
Finishing details
With the right side facing up, fold ends and sew together. Finish off and weave ends. (The video below demonstrates this process). Flip inside out and its complete!
Now you're ready to style your ear warmer with your fall and winter looks!
