Tic Tac Toe Earwarmer

Small but mighty, the Tic Tac Toe Earwarmer is a quick, satisfying make that’s perfect for using up leftover yarn or trying out new color combinations.

Using the same beautifully textured stitch as the Tic Tac Toe Cardigan, this design turns simple rows into something stylish and eye-catching. It’s worked flat, then cinched at the front for a bow-like finish that’s playful without being fussy.

The result is a cozy, stretchy headwrap that looks polished whether you’re running errands or heading out for a winter walk. You can finish one in an evening, making it a great instant-gratification project, as well as a thoughtful handmade gift.
