Introduction
The Winter with a Twist Ear Warmer pattern is one of my personal favorites that never fails to ignite my excitement. The design is crafted using Wander from Furls Crochet, which provides a beautiful sheen to the finished design. By switching between the HDC and HDC SL ST, an intricate textured stitch is achieved. Although this pattern is for advanced beginners, it is not as difficult as it may appear, and only requires knowledge of the aforementioned stitches. The pattern comes in four sizes - Baby, Toddler, Child, and Adult - and uses Standard American Terms with English instructions.

Final Steps
Make sure you have your Right Side facing. Take each side of your ear warmer and fold each side in half. Next, you want to sandwich your 4 pieces together. So, the bottom piece in your right hand goes into the middle fold of your left hand. The top piece on your right side goes over top the left piece in your left hand. The last piece in your left hand goes underneath the piece in the center. You should have 4 pieces intertwining. With your Weaving needle seam all 4 pieces together. Weave in all your ends and trim the extra yarn. Flip your ear warmer on the right side, you will see the twist! You've completed the Winter with a Twist Ear Warmer!
