How to Crochet a Earwarmer / Headband - Part 1 of 2 - You can make a Preemie to Adult size

[@mrshammerhankus]

i dont even bother watching anybody else's videos anymore. i already know you are the best tutor!!

[@Jellebeens]

You are THE BEST tutor online! I am 54 years old and could never make anything but a granny square because I couldn't get the turns at the ends of the rows right. The way you teach, with patience and so thorough, I have finally "got it". Anybody can learn to crochet watching you! Thank you for taking your time to help us out here you are greatly appreciated! :)

[@LudwigLobsters]

I just start doing this. You and your hands are guiding me to the promise land of gnarly crochet creations.

[@DebbieUnderfinger]

I must agree with you, Cindy. I think she explained this slowly too, but yet steady enough so she can show you exactly what she's explaining. Sometimes when people aren't patient thinking they're the only one with questions, they're not going to hear or see the answer. I think this series is the best!

[@janellekennedy2550]

Wanted to let you know that your tutorials are amazing and extremely helpful. I've been crocheting on and off for a few years but could never finish anything and be satisfied with it..your tutorials have helped me with that. Thank you.

[@katherinebence6384]

You make it so easy for a 70 year old woman to learn to crochet, thank you!

[@Matyme]

I made this headband three years ago from watching your video and I have to say I can't live with out this headband in winter. It is a live saver for me. I came back so make another but I needed to remember how I did it so it would turn out exactly like my first one. This was my first crochet piece I did by the way =)

[@francesdowney6804]

Wow! Three years ago - I really need to start my first one! Thanks for the comment.

[@eunicesantana443]

I made a headband with this tutorial 5+ yrs ago and it came out WONDERFUL! I'm so happy this video is still around! Thank you! :-)

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Eunice Santana thank you so much for watching my video, happy crochet! Also thank you for following me for so long

[@gerriandphyllis]

I love this pattern, I just made three headwarmers with sequinned flower, they came out GREAT! I would love to send the photos of them to you,Gerri

[@CorkyPie11]

Thankyou for such patient tutoring. Your instructions are so clear and easy to follow. I just hope when I try this myself I can do it. Learning to crochet is one of my aims for this year. THANKYOU AGAIN.

[@N3ZZ1A]

My girls love these warmers I have made so many for Christmas since they all love to wear them I think I am at number 50 or so since I have so many nieces and each one wants different colors than the other girls. Thanks for the video and thank you for making it so easy to follow you on video you are a great instructor. :) keep the videos coming!!!

[@12MRSNELSON]

Hi! Bob and Thanks a Million for your time and talent!!!! I did one in the camel stitch! It was a bit challenging but, came out AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONCE AGAIN THANKS A MILLION AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU TO CONTINUE TO SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE!

[@tamarahamilton1935]

Thanks so much. I'm just a beginner and found this to be easy to follow. It turned out great too.

[@a.humphries8678]

Love this pattern. I've made it several times. I always get compliments on it.

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Ashley Humphries thank you so much for your wonderful feedback

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you ! I am so happy that you are happy with your crochet

[@bettyeames2662]

I just bought one in black with a bright pink crochet rose on the side. I received many complements and thought this might make nice Christmas gifts for my nieces and daughter. Thank you for the tutorial! I should be set for Christmas 2014!

[@klmiller1991]

OMG you actually made a video that makes sense so I can follow along! Thank you! We sell these at my work, but I felt like I could make one myself instead of buy one.

[@evlipokejuggalette]

I love your crochet tutorials. They are so helpful. I've yet to find any other channels that explain and show what to do as well as you do, which is VERY helpful for visual learners like me. Thank you. :)

[@saschen1]

Thank you! Your videos and instruction are a godsend to the newbie crocheter!

[@CrochetwithClare]

YAAAY !!!! Congrats and well done, thanks for watching

[@QueenViolet8]

WOW thanks so much it was Super Easy and Super Quick and SUPER Easy to understand!! Finished mine in 2hrs.

[@Windala19]

I love all your videos! You go nice and slow and explain things really well. I have made couple of your projects and right after I make something a family member/friend steals what I have made. LOL

[@Calarin19]

Thank you so much :) I am a beginner (some how my finger in the right hand get tired very easy ) I made your project in a day but I am very happy with the result I use a handmade button ( that I made) and looks awesome and it fits good ....in Australia is fall and it I am feeling the cold ....thank you again you are wonderful :)

[@bne314]

loved your tutorial! Very easy to fallow, I ended up making mine a touch too big so i didn't add the button hole onto the end and just pushed the button through some of the stitches and it sits nice on my head and helps to keep my ears warm. I only used 1 strand of yarn instead of two so its not as thick but it turned out nice! Thanks!

[@BrandieB71]

I really enjoyed makeing this Ear warmer thanks alot now I can't stop making them lol. Thanks again

[@ChanAudioTruyenNgan]

i'm a biginner in crochet. And my very first work is a round scarf. still loading but i know this tut is very very useful for me coz i always get cold with my ears and my neck in winter. Thank you so much

[@DebbieUnderfinger]

How cute! I wish I have seen this before, the winter.. I will have to make one for next winter!

[@neonshiki]

thank you !!!! for one like my self who just took up crocheting this is so easy for me to follow an understand!

[@boneymeroney2674]

I don't see you in your videos often... SO CUTE!!!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes of course :) Thank you and thank-you for watching

[@NonieMaesLife]

Hey Clare...I was looking through your tutorials to find this one, You were the first crochet KZbinr I ever watched and this was my first earwarmer I made for a friend...Gosh that was a long time ago...

[@CrochetwithClare]

@NonieMaesLife hello, yes this was a long time ago, thank you for your support 🥰

[@kka467]

I love all ur videos. They r easy to follow. Keep them coming

[@CrochetwithClare]

@rainepanda you just take 2 skeins/balls of yarn and use one string from each. Create your slip knot, with both, and crochet with them both together as if they are one string. If you have only one skein/ball you can use one string from the centre pull and one from the outside, but make sure you put it into a box or bowl to stop it flopping around.

[@dkuriny]

This is such a great tutorial. Thank you! I am really excited about trying it as soon as I get the supplies. I hope to make one of these for each of my daughters and I also want to add a little crochet flower on the side. Thank you! I love your accent too.

[@justneed2see]

Wonderful tutorial ! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us and providing it free of charge. Please let me apologize for the rude women who doesn't understand the concept of "you owe her nothing!" Really can't relate to those out there who seem to think the world owes them EVERYTHING lol! Your directions were easy to follow, as I am also a beginner, and I can do this! Please continue on, as most of us really do appreciate you sharing your talent with us :)

[@antinicia]

your slip knot was the most easiest to follow your awesome...finishing the rest of the vid now heheh

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you fro your suggestion

[@CrochetwithClare]

I am glad that you have a scarf that you like :)

[@beepboopbop1234]

I'm currently working it with just one strand of yarn (medium, size 4, recommended hook size J) and it is looking great. I'm using a K (6.5mm) hook because I don't have a J (6mm) hook.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes you can go into the slip stitches, i just found it easier to do it the other way :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes you can do this with one strand. I used 2 strands as I was using a very thin yarn. :)

[@DebbieUnderfinger]

Emily, when you use two yarns, it actually makes it thicker. I think, personally, its a matter of personal choice. You can use wool yarn, and it will come out almost as thick. There are some good wool yarn out there.

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there, thank you for your great feeback I have not yet attempted the basket weave stich, when I do I will be sure to make a hat :)

[@sherrosgirl]

Awesome!! I will be making one of these. I love your accent.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi ! Thank you so much :) You are very welcome

[@worknwoman]

Thank you so very much for your awesome and easy-to-understand videos!

[@vckrscindy]

Goodness to CGriffith, simply rude. Anyway, love your tutorials. I love when people actually give their own time to teach us who are less skilled. Your videos are great and you speak so slowly which really helps dummies like me!!! Please keep posting.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, I used 2 different balls but i have also used one from the inside of a ball and 1 from the outside of the same ball

[@sarasnee7]

Just made a burgundy one this afternoon! I may make a cream rose to go with it next... :) Awesome tutorial! This one really made me get over the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to changing rows. I just learned to make it work. Helps that the button part is hidden under my hair! :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi there, there is 3 sections to this headband, there is the 2 sides and the middle, the middle should be wider than the 2 outside sections. the 2 outside sections will be the same size

[@CrochetwithClare]

@CyndiGarguilo I am using 8ply/DK Carnival yarn and i like to double it up to make it nice and thick and warm

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI, I havnt learn how to do that yet,but it is on my list to do

[@CrochetwithClare]

In the video it shows you that you start with single crochets, (from memory i think it is about 10 stitches) then you continue with half double crochet with the main section and then at the end of the row you go back to single crochet hope this helps

[@LisaDawn]

Oh yes! That explains it! I did all single crochet for my foundation chain. :-)

[@9mmprincess]

Thanks for the videos. I made two earwarmer's. Love them.

[@LuLuinGA]

Thank you, also I am now making a summer hat with a rim all around it and I am now looking for straw yarn or raffia yarn (is called for in pattern) no stores here in GA have it or have heard of it. Thank you for all your help.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Yes i think you could, remember to keep calm and rewind that video as many times as you need to :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi there I went below the slip stitches, you do the same for 1 stand of yarn :) like you said put your hook below the slp sts and between sc's

[@Ichitus100]

Great tutorials thank you so much. I have just started learning to crochet, I love it so much.

[@hendelsahly6080]

thank you its amazing i made one like yours same color but i added a color to the Edges and a medium flower it looks amazing ,, your way is easy and fancy :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

@S2Withlove The only thing i can suggest if it is finished is more the button across some more :)

[@karenmantica5064]

Thank you very much for sharing your talent. its a very informative easy to follow tutorial and pattern. Highly recommend !

[@CrochetwithClare]

With 4ply yarn you would use just one strand. I used 2 strands because my yarn was very thin.

[@francesdowney6804]

G''day! I'm going to make this for quick Christmas presents - another great tutorial! Thanks Ms. Wilson!!! Love all your patterns tutorials! Thanks for sharing!

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you so much for choosing my videos. My name is actually Clare. Wilson is the ball from Castaway

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there, You change the colour of hats at the end of each row, finish off the row like normal and then sew in you ends, then add you new colour

[@CrochetwithClare]

@MzRichful If you look in the description below the video it states that it is made with 2 strings of yarn used at the same time. You get 2 skeins/balls of the same yarn and use one string from each, together at the same time

[@LuLuinGA]

After making three other headband patterns, this one is the best. I used #4 wt yarn single strand with H8/5mm hook. Followed all you instructions (wrote them down) and it came out beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing your talent. I am a beginner and mostly self taught. I will use more of your videos. Do you have any hints in adding elastic to the yarn so headbands won't need buttons? This is the first project I did not have to take apart 2-3 times before getting it right!

[@LiiLa1]

great tutorials, thanks for taking the time to post them for us.

[@rackeylam9188]

You are the best i learn how to corchet just from watching your video! !

[@thethriftyfawn]

I went from passively looking for a crochet ear warmer headband, to actively looking for one, and THIS is IT!!! Was looking for one that is narrow at the nape of the neck (like my fleece Champion headband that I currently own) as opposed to one that is the same thickness all the way around! I also need to actually learn how to crochet as well! Tried a couple simple projects about 6 years ago, but never kept up with it and really want to get back into crochet and develop some skills! I'm also in CANADA and definitely will be in need of some ear warmers for this winter! So far this tutorial looks beginner friendly! SUBscribed to your channel! Thank you so much for posting this video! Looking forward to trying this out! Fawn 😊❤👍

[@CrochetwithClare]

Welcome Fawn! I hope you fall in love with crochet and great to have you along for the adventure. Thank you for the subscription, happy crochet!

[@thethriftyfawn]

@@CrochetwithClare Thank you for posting this video Clare! I haven't attempted to make this headband, but after the snowfall today, I should definitely give it a try soon LOL! Feel free to let me know if you have a one piece version of this headband, as opposed to one with a button... that would be really cool! 😊

[@CrochetwithClare]

@@thethriftyfawn Hello, sorry I do not have a one-piece version with the narrower back.

[@thethriftyfawn]

@@CrochetwithClare No problem Clare! I will give thos one a try, maybe even make an attempt on my second one to modify it as such for myself. At some point if you wish to consider designing one and posting a new video, I'm certain it would do really well! Especially here in Canada, and the norther parts of the United States!

[@jadahall9286]

Love it! My turned out awesome! I love your videos! :) Thank you for them

[@Army06Wife]

i love this.... my gram just went to a craft show and bought one for my aunt.... and I knew I could find a pattern some where! I love you bobwilson123 your awesome! i love all ur videos!

[@CrochetwithClare]

@Zaneta1994 Use any yarn you like :) I used 8ply/DK/Light worsted and a 4mm/G hook. When I made the grey one i used 2 strands at the same time a nd i used 2x 8ply and a size 6mm hook

[@mexicanspeedball25]

I absolutely LOVE this tutorial! Thank you for doing this! I'll be sure to watch more (:

[@DebbieUnderfinger]

Jellebeens, I am glad I am not the only one.. I am 53.. taught myself how to crochet at 12, and couldn't get past the granny square mode. I do have problems with gauges though.. but as long as I can make what bobwilson123 shows, I am doing well.

[@crimsonfrank9508]

wow honestly I'm so glad I found your videos, you have taught me how to crochet, I guess you get that alot, but thank you I cant afford to buy hats for my baby and wanted the cute beenies, I can never thank you enough, can you please make a cupcake, not a hat but a little cupcake, my two year old would love one I tried tried to watch other videos but got lost right away

[@susankleist2081]

I love your videos! Could you do one showing how to make a headband using the camel stitch and button closure?

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Susan, thank you for the suggestion :)

[@wendyg46]

Easy,simple pattern,thanks Bob! :)

[@ailadi17]

Thank you so much for your help, i just finished one :) its a little short hehe, i will make it a chain loop to close it with a button. I will make more! Its easy to make and fun! :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

I just reliased that I have not got this written up yet, I have just sent it to the testers, keep an eye out for it, I will but the link in the more info box under video when ready :)

[@seajoannattle]

Your tutorials are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. I can't read a pattern to save my life, but I can follow a video perfectly well :). I was wondering if you could include the written pattern so maybe I could try to learn to read them too? Anyways, my visual learning self loves you! Thanks again!

[@ianwicker809]

Great instructions Bobwilson!. Would you happen to have tutorial on making Ear Covers? Thank you.

[@natvarung]

You are a very good teacher!!!!!! ^ ^

[@nadaisko]

Lovely pattern, made it in less than 2 hours and it turn beautiful...Thank you so much

[@CrochetwithClare]

+nadaisko Awesome ! Thank you so much for watching

[@CrochetwithClare]

@lexitoria i think they are 315metres each

[@CrochetwithClare]

@KatsPurr7 Not really, but you have given me a good idea to release a video when i have a new written pattern :) Do you think that would be a good idea?

[@CrochetwithClare]

@ailadi17 Yes you do measure your head and and make it that big. I use the smaller one just for the video because I used just a single strand to make the video

[@ambergamble2266]

I forgot to mention that I really enjoyed this video. Even though I messed up somehow. When I didn't think I could even make a washcloth I finished a headband despite my it doesn't fit problem:)

[@CrochetwithClare]

@Army06Wife thanks for sharing the love :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

@KatsPurr7 I am getting others to write the patterns for me ( I dont have the time to do it myself) This is on the list :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

HI there, 8pls is the same as - sport weight or DK (double knit yarn) Medium worsted weight like red heart super saver is about a 10-12 ply hope this helps you thank you for watching

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hi, I cant remember my chains that I made, BUT if you still have the ones that you made that do not fit....get the larger one and then put it on your head and do it up so that it fits you (you may not be able to actually do it up, just hold it there) then count across the number of stitches until you get to were it fits.....then chain that many and add 2 for your turning chain :) Did that help you ? I feel your pain and can imagine the frustration you are going though

[@bluemonstahz]

i love your work:) do you think that you could make a tutorial for boot cuffs?

[@CrochetwithClare]

@sailorfullmoon HI there you can use any stich , if you use a SC it will be thinner on the main part and if you use a DC it will be wider :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you !

[@CrochetwithClare]

Sorry but I have never used elastic in yarn before, Maybe you could add it to the first anf last row ?

[@BSallyB103]

Great tutorial! Super happy to have found your video's. Thank you for sharing! I just have to remember to "translate" the stitches into UK speak! ;) Thanks again x

[@CrochetwithClare]

hi there, you can use, 1 strand of worsted weight medium yarn or 2 strands of 8ply/dk yarn Hope this helps you, thank you for watching

[@CrochetwithClare]

@lexitoria I used 2 x 100 gram balls
