So Easy, So Cool Way To Warm Your Ears

by

This is about the easiest design I’ve ever seen – and so incredibly innovative!  I am a dedicated walker.  I walk outside in all kinds of weather (except ice) and detest hats.  This headband is the absolute perfect design for me!  I’m thinking there are plenty of other crocheters (and walkers) out there who can use it too.  That one little twist pretty much guarantees that the headband (earwarmer) will fit any head – no elastic needed.  So, I my ears can remain toasty warm while the rest of my head is unencumbered.

In addition to this and a few other free crochet patterns, designer Pamela Dempsey has some fantastic patterns available to purchase.  She has a grouping of four hats for men that is pretty cool – and will please men of all ages, from the teens to their grandpas.  Take some time to check out all the goodies on her blog where you can find the free pattern for this Moebius Headband, then look at her designs on artfire.com.

Lightweight Lacy Crochet Tee Pattern That’s Perfect for Layering

Some crochet garments look beautiful on the hanger but feel awkward to wear. This Lacy Crochet Tee from Lana Grossa is not one of those pieces. It’s light, breathable, and very much designed to be worn — the kind of handmade top that slips easily into your everyday wardrobe without feeling “too precious.”

What immediately stands out is the openness of the stitch pattern. It has that airy, lacy feel that works so well for warmer weather or for layering over a tank or dress. This isn’t a heavy, structured garment; it’s soft and fluid, with just enough texture to make it interesting while still letting the yarn shine.

From a making point of view, this tee is a really enjoyable project if you like crochet that feels calm and rhythmic. The lace pattern keeps your hands engaged without constant counting or frustration, which makes it perfect for evening crochet or quiet weekend sessions. It’s also very satisfying watching the fabric grow — those lacy stitches really show progress quickly.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate crochet. You don’t need advanced shaping skills, but being comfortable with stitch patterns and keeping even tension will make the process much more enjoyable. If you’ve been wanting to dip your toe into wearable crochet without tackling a full sweater, this is a great place to start.

What I really appreciate about this pattern is how versatile it is. Change the colour and fibre and it can feel casual and beachy or clean and modern. It’s the kind of tee you’ll reach for again and again, especially when you want something handmade that still feels light and effortless.

If you enjoy crochet garments that are wearable, practical, and quietly stylish, this lacy tee is a lovely pattern to have in your collection.
