I simply love how the chevron pattern gives this project a new and unique shape. These gloves work well with the accompanying scarf and ear warmer, but they also look great all on their own.

Instructions
This ear warmer is made of a long tube and sewn together at the ends. You will be working in the round and turning at the end of each round.
To make this pattern easier to work, after round 1 you will be starting each round in the 2nd stitch. This is the stitch immediately to the left of where you placed your slip stitch in the previous row. If you look at Figure 1 below, you will see that I have ch1 and worked my 1st hdc2tog beginning in the next st. When you do this, you must remember that the stitch where you placed your slip stitch in the previous row, is where you will finish your last stitch. (See Figure 2)
