Patterned Headwrap/Earwarmer Crochet Pattern

I truly love the season change and cooler weather... so of course I have more patterns for this beautiful time of year!

Here is my newest pattern for a cute crochet headwrap/earwarmer:

Patterned Headwrap/Earwarmer

ww yarn - I used  Redheart Super Saver in medium thyme for example

I hook

3/4" button

tapestry/sewing needle for weaving in yarn ends and attaching button

Abbreviations:

Sl  st: slip stitch

sk: skip

sc: single crochet

hdc: half double crochet

sc2tog: single crochet 2 stitches together (decrease)

f.o.: finish off

Guage: 4sts approx. 1" (not terribly important, you can change hook up or down in size to suit your needs)
