Cozy Cabled Earwarmer
Copyright Better Than Eden 2012
After several attempts, I wrote another little pattern! It's a simple knit that only takes a few hours to complete and results in a sweet earwarmer to take the chill out of those winter days. The pattern is free to use but please link back to this site if you publish or share anything about it and please keep my copyright in place. Please let me know if you have any questions and I would love to hear about it if you do use it! Thank you!

Bind off with a STRETCHY bind off. A normal bind off will not get the stretch needed to fit over the head!
I use this:
(After your initial first stitch)
For knit stitches: YO from BACK TO FRONT, knit, pass the YO and the previous stitch over the new knit stitch.
For purl stitches: YO from front to back (the normal way), purl, pass the YO and the previous stitch over the new purled stitch.
A video tutorial for this bind off can be found here.
Cut yarn and weave through last stitch with darning needle and weave in end.
