Free Back Button Ear Warmer Pattern

This pattern is part of the Gobal Crochet Collaboration.

A quick project that doesn’t use that much yarn. Great in a solid color but would look very nice in self striping yarn. Quick 2 row repeat for the main section. Sew on the button for decoration or add the button hole.
