I love a good free crochet ear warmer pattern. And this free crochet ear warmer pattern is simply beautiful but with a bit of a twist…literally. The twisted shells ear warmer has a slight twist in it that when worn, looks like it is kind of crossed or wrapped on your head. This type of ear warmer looks great on everyone and can be worn a few different ways. I like to wear mine with the point created by the twist pointing up since it makes my round face appear a little less round (BONUS!).

Hi, thanks for sharing your pattern, I love it.
Ive tried numerous times to get this to work without success.
The count is wrong if you crochet 3 stitches when only skipping 2? or am I doing something wrong.
Thankyou
Carol
Hi Carol,
I just checked it out and recrocheted it to triple check and the count is correct. You start with a foundation row of 16 SCs then in row two, you place 3 sts in the first ST and skip the next two sts. You’ll do that a total of 5 times and then SC in the last ST. 3 x 15 + 1 = 16. If you look at the repeat, you have 3 sts total (1 worked st and two skipped) which equals the number of sts worked in each stitch. I hope this helps.
