Perpetual Posts Ear Warmers Pattern
Not only are these ear warmers fast and easy, it’s a real stash busting project. You’ve heard of one skein wonders, well this pattern takes only a fraction of a skein of Red Heart Unforgettable.
In fact, if you’ve already made one of the other two patterns in the series, you can use the remaining yarn to whip up these ear warmers. Two projects for the price of one!
The inspiration for this pattern series comes from a stitch repeat I found in a handy little book from Leisure Arts. It’s a pocket sized resource that I highly recommend. Click here to get the stitch guide.

Stitch Guide
Front Post Double Crochet (fpdc):
Yarn over, insert hook from front to back to front around post of specified stitch and draw up a loop; (yarn over and draw through two loops) twice.
Front Post Treble Crochet (fptr):
Yarn over twice, insert hook from front to back to front around post of specified stitch and draw up a loop; (yarn over and draw through two loops) three times.
Notes:
- Pattern is worked in the round.
- Each round will be joined with a slip stitch to the first sc of round.
- Round 19 is optional. Adding a final row of slip stitches helps match the tension of the starting chain at the bottom of your ear warmers.
