I designed the Ribbed Ridge Headband to be the perfect crochet accessory for men. This simple headband is made with ear flaps and a ribbed texture that makes it functional and not too flashy. It can be worn over a ball cap or by itself. Best of all, it’s a beginner-friendly project that’s easy to make.

Video Tutorial Included

Never get lost on a pattern again. I provided a detailed video tutorial for this ear warmer pattern. At the end of each written row, I’ve placed a timestamp to ensure you’re making it correctly.

Beginner-Friendly Design

I wanted to ensure that this headband design was simple, using the Back Loop Single Crochet (BLSC) stitch to create a unique accordion-like texture. If you’ve been searching for how to crochet an ear warmer headband for beginners, you found the perfect project. The repetitive stitch makes it easy for beginners. The rugged ribbed design adds a masculine touch and the ear flaps makes it a practical crochet ear warmer headband for men.

Yarn For Project

Brava is a 100% acrylic yarn that will keep up with all of life’s adventures! Gentle enough on the skin, but is a hard-wearing yarn. It’s super durable & hold up to washing pretty well. Brava also has a huge color section at a great, affordable price.

Versatility and Style

When I designed the Ribbed Ridge Headband, I wanted it to be a versatile winter accessory. This crochet ear warmer headband for men can be worn with casual outfits like hoodies and jackets. I believe it’ll make a thoughtful handmade gift for that special guy in your life.

My son absolutely loves it. He has tons of hair & typical winter hats don’t fit him well. This pattern is able to keep my son warm all winter long.
