This richly textured crochet ear warmer pattern features a base of herringbone half double crochet and a pretty band of accented star stitches. This pattern works up quickly, perfect for last minute gifts!

Materials Needed to Crochet the Chesapeake Scarf Pattern
I/5.5 mm Crochet Hook – I prefer using a Furls Streamline Metal hook with acrylic yarn- shop them HERE!
1 skein Brava Tweed, Worsted [4] weight, 97% Acrylic, 3% Viscose yarn, 218yds, 100g, shown in the Wasabi colorway.
For this ear warmer pattern, Size S/M uses 40g, and size M/L uses 50g yarn. That means if you buy 4 balls, you’ll have enough to make the matching scarf pattern!
You can purchase it here from WeCrochet. Brava Tweed yarn is one of my new stash staple yarns! I absolutely love working with it.
You’ll also want a pair of scissors, and a yarn/tapestry needle for weaving in your ends. I buy Yarn Needles on Amazon Here, and I prefer buying 3.5″ stork embroidery scissors from Amazon here. They’re cheap and compact enough that I can keep one in several project WIP bags!
