Here it is! The baseball cap ear warmer!

Back to our normal schedule here, after the weekend.  I worked on the ear warmer for a baseball hat again, and I like try number 2 better.  Still not perfect, but really a sweet thing.  Sorry for the ridiculously bad photos...too excited to take pics to wait for good lighting and set up a real photo area today.


Basically, I made a chain about the circumference of my head, maybe an inch or so shorter, to allow for a snug fit.  Then I HDC 2 rows, turning after each one.  I measured the cap and ran another HDC around the edge of the bill, and did a chain that went almost the straight width of the bill, a little longer maybe.  I needed it to be tight to stay out of my eyes!


I then ran a few more rows of HDC along the length, including the new chain to allow the bill to fit through.  Then I added some psuedo ear flaps on each side, and connected the back of the hat together with slip stitch. I ran a couple of rows of slip stitches around the edge to finish it off.  

Oops...looking at this pic, you can see the left ear flap, then under the emblem there's a spot that doesn't line up,,,I may have forgotten half a row on the back...alas, I'm just making the pattern, there are going to be errors.

What do you think?  It's a great solution when you want to wear your team's hat and it just doesn't keep you warm enough. And Georgia is a great model, don't you think?  She came as "Whitney", but I just can't stop calling her Georgia.  She's a great listener too.  :)

  1. Could you please post your entire pattern? I would like to make one for my husband and several friends of mine that work out in the field during the COLD days.

    Thanks.
