Last week I wondered what the ear warmer would be like with double worsted weight yarn using bigger needles. I took some lovely turquoise acrylic yarn (I'm pretty sure it's Red Heart Super Saver), wound up two balls of it. I used size 11 - 16 inch circular needles and I cast on 60 stitches. This is what I ended up with.
I did not double this up like I did with the other ear warmers I made because the yarn was already doubled, but it's not exactly what I thought it would be or what I want. Now I wonder if I should do this with my size 8 needles or I may need a size 9. The size 11 needles made the fabric too loose. I'm not loving it, but this would be helpful under a hat.
And I have just the hat.
