Make a Falling Leaves Ear Warmer – Free Crochet Pattern
It’s no secret that Fall is my favorite season! I just adore the cool air and Falling Leaves… and the sweaters, boots, and ear warmers! And that’s how the Falling Leaves Ear Warmer came to be!
I personally prefer ear warmers to hats and I’ve already designed a few, but can you ever really have too many cold weather accessories?

Hi Sonya!
Love your falling leaves ear warmer. Do you by chance have photos of what it looks like while making it, when joining the strips, etc.? I’m such a visual learner… Thanks for your help!
Hi Paulette!
I don’t have tutorial photos at this time, but maybe something I can get in the near future.

I love that you do this, now to find the time for me to create your shares.
Cute pattern. Thank you. It says Pin It, but that option does not seem to work. Is there an issue? Thanks.
