This timeless, trendy, and textured, One Skein, Quick to make project - Earwarmer / headband is a must have for your Winter Collection. I designed it for a beautiful fellow Canadian maker, I connected with on Instagram. She makes just gorgeous, handmade faux fur pom poms. It would make a fabulous gift or even a stocking stuffer.

I have visited the province that she lives in - where I had my first experience on a snowmobile racing out into the incredible snow drifts that sparkle at midnight to seemingly impossible, deceiving heights and undulate over the vast prairie landscape in the ever-blowing wind. I remember thinking as a teenager, “this must be what it looks like on the surface of the moon”! Oh, to be that young again! Brie and these incredible snowdrift patterns are what has inspired this gorgeous earwarmer / headband. As it is a surprise, she is unaware of, I hope she loves it as well as the complimenting matching slouchy beanie pattern - featuring one of her fabulous faux fur pom pom creations – and winter cowl that would make a fabulous set as well a separate pieces. Watch for them coming soon to my Etsy Store! 😉.
