Free Crochet Pattern | "Knit-Look" Chunky Adult Headwarmer

I had been trying to come up with an idea for super quick gifts this year and then one day inspiration struck for this “Knit-Look” Chunky Headwarmer! It’s PERFECT for teacher gifts and gifts for family….even picky teenagers! 😀

It’s also PERFECT for craft fairs! I used Lion Brand Hometown USA (less than a skein and usually found for around $3.00) and a large button. But the BEST part?!?! It took less than a half hour to make, including sewing on the button! The combination of the cost and time to create makes it a PERFECT item for craft fairs! 😀

Special Stitches

(Modified) Slip Stitch 2 Together (slst2tog): Insert hook into same st as previous st worked, yo, pull up a loop, insert hook into next st, yo, pull up loop and pull thru both loops on hook. **This st is modified because you begin each one in the previous st worked, therefore, your st count will not decrease. **Note: It will seem as though you’re working these sts along the backside of the previous row of sc.

Finishing

*Tip: It is normal for crochet items to stretch out when worn so don’t be afraid to make your initial fit a little snug.

From bottom to top, insert the buttonhole end of headwarmer thru the loop created at the opposite end (see close up photo above). The buttonhole end should be on the outside of the headwarmer. Try it on for fit. Adjust the buttonhole end to adjust size. Once you have a good fit, sew your button on the Right Side of the headwarmer, opposite the buttonhole end.
