Crocheting is a great way to unwind after a long week and these small projects are perfect for those days you only have an hour or two available.

And hey, if you're having trouble coming up with what to do this weekend, I've got some ideas!

#2. Simple Twisted Earwarmer Free Crochet Pattern

There are so many reasons I love earwarmers. I love wearing them on days when I want my hair up; but beyond that, they’re such a quick, easy crochet project! This one is particularly mindless because it’s simply rows of half double crochet in back loops only, and finished with a beautiful twist that’s much easier than it looks.

And, if you’re trying to build a craft fair inventory, earwarmers can be a great addition! (Tip: choose just a handful of styles, and work them up in several modern colors. They’re sure to sell!)

But whether you’re selling, making Christmas gifts, or just making yourself something to feel beautiful in, this pattern is for you.
