15 Tunisian Crochet Ear Warmer Patterns to Keep You Cozy All Winter

This pattern is a beautifully textured, trendy ear-warmer (or headband) worked in a rectangular panel using the Tunisian knit stitch, then folded and twisted to create a chic “knot-twist” finish. It gives a knit-look appearance, but it’s entirely crocheted using Tunisian techniques.

With a plush texture, modern design, and cozy warmth, it’s a quick and satisfying make, perfect for gifting or treating yourself.

This pattern uses two worsted-weight yarns (a soft solid and a vibrant variegated) to create a stunning contrast that really shows off the stitch definition.

This one is a real stunner if you like texture. The smock stitch gives it a raised, cozy pattern that feels a little like gathered fabric. The pattern is a downloadable PDF with clear instructions, and it’s great if you want something a bit more decorative without going over the top. 

This is one of my favorites for combining style and wearability. You use two colors (or you could do it in one) with the Tunisian knit stitch to get a knit-like texture, then fold and twist the ends to create a cute knot in front.

The designer gives alternate sizes and tips for color changes, so you can make one for your toddler or an adult.

I love this one because it uses a no-curl variation of Tunisian half double crochet, which means your edges stay flat (no annoying rolling).

The author (that's us!) walks you through everything, gives the yarn & tool list, and even discusses yarn substitutions. It’s an excellent “giftable” pattern!

If you’re comfortable with a double-ended Tunisian hook, this one is a lovely, retro-style headband with a harlequin (diamond) texture.

The designer includes instructions for multiple head sizes, a companion video, and guidance to help you adapt. The video is super helpful for us visual learners!

This is a neat, modern, knit-like Tunisian headband. It’s polished and wearable—great when you want something that looks handmade but not overly trendy. The pattern is paid (though she mentions a free version as well). Your companion for every winter outfit 🙂

This pattern gives you plenty of options — six head sizes and two widths — for extra customizability. The stitch gives a linen-weave kind of texture which is elegant and versatile. The designer even mentions it’s a good project for newbies to Tunisian crochet so don’t be afraid to try, beginners!

This earwarmer has a charming braided (or cable-like) detail running along the band. The PDF includes color photos and a step-by-step tutorial. If you enjoy adding a twist or cable feel to your pieces, this is a fun option. Even if you’re a beginner, try your hand at a cable if you’re feeling adventurous. You’ll get the hang of it in no time!

For when you want something extra cozy and fast, this earwarmer works up in super bulky yarn. It’s basically the Tunisian simple stitch, but in a thicker gauge, and includes four sizes. You’ll have a warm, squishy headband super quick. Great project for a road trip or quick plane ride.

The TL Yarn Crafts channel gives a clear, step-by-step tutorial to make a basic Tunisian ear warmer. She walks through materials, stitch execution, shaping, and finishing in a friendly, easygoing style. I love Toni’s color palettes and clear, beginner friendly instructions. One of my favorites for sure.

This one’s fun — you’ll learn to make a headband using the Tunisian simple stitch, then add a twist in the middle. The video is paced nicely, and the instructions show how to adjust width/length to your liking for more customizability. The twist is easier than you think and adds just enough texture to make it interesting without it being complicated.

If you like texture that’s subtle but interesting, this uses a rice-grain style stitch in Tunisian crochet. The video walks through stitch by stitch, so you can follow along as you go. The rice stitch is a unique Tunisian stitch that combines front and back post stitches. It’s thick and reversible, so it’s almost like two headbands in one!

This tutorial is great if you want something a bit more decorative but still beginner-friendly. It’s the best of both worlds for all the newbies out there who are still getting the hang of Tunisian. The visuals are lovely, and you’ll see each stage clearly. 

For those days when you just want to whip something out fast and satisfying, this video delivers. The pattern is simple, the result is cute, and it’s totally doable even if you’re still familiarizing yourself with Tunisian crochet. The video tutorial is super helpful
