Welcome to another crochet tutorial with CozyRosieUK. Today I'm going to be showing you how to make this
0:10
autumnal ribbed ear warmer. So this is created using working into the back loops only. You create
0:18
the ribbing by working into the back loops of your stitches and it gives that lovely ribbing effect
0:23
and then we're going to make a little separate band that we're going to sew on at the end
0:29
So the yarn that we're going to be using is my absolute favourite. It's by Sirdar and it is called Jewel Spun
0:37
So it comes in about six different shades. This is one of my favourites. I haven't started this ball yet
0:43
But this shade that we're going to be using today, this is, what's it called
0:49
Oh, Setting Sun. So it's shade number 843. I'll pop a link in the description box below for you so that you can pick that up you can get that
0:58
from Lovecrafts or Hobbycrafts but I'll put an affiliate link in the description box for you to
1:02
go and pick up your ball there as well and they come in a 200 gram ball so they're not small I'm
1:08
not going to lie so you get a full 200 grams which is quite a large ball of wool and it's 500 meters
1:17
worth in there as well you're only going to need about 50 grams of that ball to make this
1:23
autumnal warm ear warmer which feeds in really well for all the different patterns that I do
1:30
with this ribbed effect so I'll link below my Etsy shop so you can check out all the other
1:35
patterns available in this ribbed style there's a scarf there's also some wrist warmers and we've
1:42
also got, well that's going to be coming shortly, it's going to be a ribbed shawl as well so lots of
1:48
different winter wear that you can make all in the same ball and all using the same hook size which
1:53
I think is kind of really important. So alongside your jaw spun from Sirdar you're also going to need
1:59
a five and a half millimeter crochet hook, a pair of scissors as always, a darning needle so that we
2:06
can sew everything up and this time I'm going to recommend if you have some or a piece of wool
2:11
get some stitch markers so that we can mark the ends and the beginnings of our row. It's
2:17
going to make things, well just the beginning actually because we're going to be working in the round, it's just going to make things a lot easier for you to find where it starts and where
2:25
it ends. So just before we do get started just take a moment now just to click subscribe so you
2:30
never miss another one of my free crochet patterns or one of my crochet tutorials and of course if
2:35
you like this video don't forget to give it a big thumbs up. So let's get started
2:41
So with your 5.5mm crochet hook we're going to start by making a slipknot
2:49
So with your working yarn in your right hand bring a loop over the front, drop that working
2:54
yarn behind and just pull that through to create your slipknot. Pop that onto your hook and tighten by pulling the working yarn and then we're going to start
3:05
by making a chain. So the chain we're going to make is a total of 77 chains, okay? So we start
3:12
by bringing the yarn over the hook, tilt the hook down and just bring it through that loop on our
3:16
hook. Yarn over and just bring it through. So we're going to make a total of 77 chains
3:26
That's five. So keep going all the way up until you've made your chain of 77
3:31
and then come back and we'll crack on. So I've made my chain of 77
3:43
If you wanted to have a count of your chain, I would recommend kind of popping it down on the table
3:48
You'll notice there are almost two different sides to our chain. So you've got one side that looks like it's got V's on it
3:56
and on the other side you'll see it's got little bumps on it. The easiest way of counting your chain is to either count up one side of your chain or turning it over and counting the bumps
4:09
Okay, so you should have a total of 77. And remember, this one on your hook does not count as a chain
4:18
So, going into row one, we are going to start by not working into this first chain here, but working into the second chain from the hook
4:27
So we're going to start by yarning over because we're going to be doing a half treble crochet into each of these chains along
4:37
So that's the UK term for a half treble crochet. The US term for that is a half double crochet
4:44
So we're going to yarn over and just insert our hook under that loop, yarn over and bring a loop up
4:52
So we should have three loops on our hook. We're going to yarn over and just pull through all three loops on our hook
4:59
We're then going to work into the next chain. So we're just going to yarn over, insert our hook under that loop of the chain
5:08
yarn over, bring that loop up, yarn over and pull through all three loops on our hook
5:17
So before we go any further, now that we've done those first two
5:21
I'm going to pop a stitch marker in the first stitch that I made just because it will be easier
5:27
when we come back this way to see where we need to work. So just pop your stitch marker under the
5:33
first stitch that you made because that's where we're going to work into when we come back the
5:38
other way. So we're just going to continue to work down the chain under that top loop of the chain
5:45
by yarning over, inserting the hook, yarn over to bring that loop up and then yarn
5:51
over to pull through all three loops on your hook. So yarn over and we're looking
5:58
to go under that loop there. So you see you've got a bigger hole where you've worked into your loop. Ignore that bigger hole and go over to that next chain and
6:08
do another half treble crochet into each of these chains all the way down
6:14
to where you made your slipknot. So at the end of this row you should have a total of 76 half treble crochets
6:25
So keep working down your chain putting a half treble crochet into each of these chains along
6:33
Press pause and then I'll catch up with you when you've reached the end of working along your chain
6:39
so once you've reached all the way down your chain you should have a total of 76
6:48
half treble crochets or 76 half double crochets all the way along worked into your chain
6:55
so what we're going to do is we're going to chain one and then we're going to turn our work so i
7:02
always turn mine like a page in a book don't have to it just needs to make more sense to me
7:08
So we're going to work back underneath where we've just placed that chain
7:12
So we're going to go through both loops at the start of this row
7:17
So we insert the hook to do another half treble crochet into that first stitch right underneath that chain
7:25
We're then going to work into the back loop only, working a half treble crochet
7:31
So as you can see, each of our stitches are made up of a front loop, which is closest to us
7:37
and a back loop which is furthest away. So we're going to yarn over the hook, ready to do the half treble
7:43
but we only going to put our hook through that back loop of our stitch So we just going to go under one half of our stitch here
7:56
So not underneath this whole stitch, just through the middle of the stitch to pick up just the back loop
8:05
We're then going to yarn over to bring that loop through that one part of our stitch
8:09
It does look big, don't worry about that, it'll even out. Then yarn over and pull through all three
8:14
so again we're going to work into almost straight down the middle of that next stitch just picking up
8:21
that back loop only i actually hold my work slightly differently normally i'm aiming for
8:27
that hole there to go underneath both of those stitches but instead i'm going to tilt it towards
8:32
me so i can see the top of my stitch and just go underneath that back loop there
8:37
yarn over to bring that loop up and then yarn over to pull through all three
8:42
yarn over aim your hook for the top of that stitch just picking up that back loop only
8:49
yarn over bring that loop up and pull through all three and what's going to happen is that's how we
8:56
create our ribbing it leaves that's that kind of part of the stitch unworked and this is what creates
9:02
that's the unworked part of the stitch that gives that ribbing effect as well
9:08
So it really is a lovely, lovely technique. I really love it. It's one of my favourites
9:13
But yeah, my top tip is to tilt your work towards you so you can see the top of your stitch
9:18
and you're just aiming kind of in the middle to pick up that back loop only
9:24
So we're going to work all the way down and then the last stitch that we've already marked
9:30
to make our lives easier, we're going to do a little bit something different. So hold there
9:35
If you want to, you can grab your other stitch marker just to make your life super easy and just
9:40
pop it under that first stitch that we made, just so again we can find it easier at the end of our
9:46
row. We just pop it through that last stitch or the first stitch that we made so we know where
9:51
we're ending our row when we come back the other way. So tilt that work towards you, aim for the
9:59
middle of that stitch to pick up that back loop only, yarn over, bring that loop up, yarn over
10:06
pull through all three. And that is what we're going to do for the whole of row two of this pattern
10:12
just working a half treble crochet for a UK term and a half double crochet all the way along this
10:18
row into the back loop only. I will see you at the other end, you can press pause and I will catch up
10:27
with you when we get back to that last stitch where we've placed that stitch marker all the
10:31
way down there. See you in a moment. So I've got just two more stitches to do. So I'm still working
10:40
into this back loop here but where I've placed my stitch marker in that first stitch I'm just
10:47
going to take that out because in the first and the last stitch of each round we're actually going
10:52
to work under the whole of the stitch. So instead of going just into that back loop on that last
10:59
stitch, we're going to go underneath both loops of the stitch, she says, there it is, under the
11:07
both loops so that we can give ourselves or give our project a nice firm edge. So there we have
11:16
two rows done already we are getting there just another 12 to go so going into round three
11:24
we're going to just do a chain one once again turn our work like a page in the book
11:30
and then yarn over so in the first stitch which is right there's our chain we're going to go
11:36
right underneath there and work under both loops of our stitch because it's the first stitch
11:41
place a half treble crochet into that first stitch and then every other stitch
11:50
except where your stitch marker is will be into the back loop only
11:58
So locate your next stitch, go down the middle of your stitch just to pick up that back loop
12:04
yarn over and pull through. I'm going to pop my stitch marker back in
12:08
to the top of that first stitch that we made look at that there we are so it's just there
12:15
pop that stitch marker in and it will help keep our edges nice and straight because you won't
12:19
drop any stitches or work into too many of those stitches as well so carry on with round sorry row
12:26
three all the way along we're still looking for a total of 60 no 76 half treble crochets
12:35
worked into that back loop only all the way down. So keep a check on your stitch
12:42
count make sure that you have enough stitches at the end of your row you
12:47
should have a total as I say of 66 stitches at the end of each row. So work
12:57
all the way down and I'll meet you at the end of row three. I've just reached
13:04
the last stitch with my stitch marker is placed just a little reminder that in that final stitch
13:10
we should be placing a half treble crochet into the both loops of the stitch so go underneath the
13:17
stitch to pick up both those loops and then complete your final stitch for that round
13:23
So you can start to see that the ribbing is actually coming out already so I just want to
13:27
mention how you can count your rows I think this is possibly the easiest way or the easiest pattern
13:31
to count your rows on because you can see that one row is dipped in, one row pops out and one
13:37
row dips in. So we've already done three of our rows and as I mentioned at the beginning of that
13:42
row we need to do a total of 14 rows so we've already done three. So what I would just remember
13:50
is before you turn do your chain one, turn your work like a page in the book, remember that your
13:58
first stitch and your last stitch of each row are worked under the stitch through both loops of that
14:04
stitch, placing a half treble crochet, half double in the US of course, and then every other stitch in
14:10
that row is into the back loop only. Do remember to pop your stitch marker into that first stitch
14:18
because it really doesn't make it easier to make sure you know where you're working that last stitch
14:23
in as well. So keep working a further 11 rows exactly the same way and I'll meet you when you've
14:31
got your 14 rows completed. Then we're going to sew up so that we can go on and make the final part
14:38
of our design which is a little band so that it gives it a lovely little cinch. So I'll catch up
14:44
with you a bit, keep going, get those next, how many rows did I say? Oh 11 rows left. So I will see
14:51
you in a very short while. So I've just reached my final stitch, just removed my stitch marker
15:03
just going to do, remember to go onto both of those loops of the stitch. I'm going to do a
15:09
little chain one and then I'm going to cut my yarn leaving enough so that we can sew these two
15:14
ends together. So once I've cut the yarn I'm just going to use my hook to bring that all the way
15:21
back through and then just pull to tighten that knot and there we have a nice stretchy
15:33
moveable fabrics and what we going to do is we are literally just going to sew these two ends together So thread your long tail yarn onto your darning needle
15:48
and place your ends together, making sure there are no twists or anything in this
15:56
And we're literally just going to whip stitch them together. So we're literally just going to go from where the tail end is into the other side
16:04
try and get in as close to the corner as possible so they're nice and neat and just literally go back
16:11
over so that we're going to join those together doesn't have to i shouldn't say that but it
16:22
doesn't have to be too particularly neat because we're going to cover this seam up we do need to
16:28
be secure because you don't want it to come undone. So whip stitch all the way
16:33
down, don't pull too tightly because you don't want it to scrunch too much
16:41
Making sure you're working through both sides and that's why we worked those
16:46
trebles into the whole of the stitch rather than through just the
16:52
back loop because it will give this a nice strong edge as well
16:58
good thing it's not going to show because it is a different color now so
17:24
So what we started with, is it not? There we go, nearly there
17:36
Making sure those corners are going to meet when we get to them as well. It's not too wonky
17:51
There we go. It doesn't look like the neatest of joins, but we are going to cover this up as well
18:00
So we're just going to weave this tail end in. I'm just going to make sure that's a bit neater
18:07
I'm not happy with that. Do that final corner again. I'm going to just lightly knot it
18:14
I don't know if you can see, it's very lightly knotted. Just so it doesn't unravel at all
18:20
There we are. So that's kind of seamed up. We're going to weave our tail ends into the seam
18:28
So just literally passing it through. Do that one in a moment
18:33
Back through the other way, through the stitches. You can do it three times one way and the other and then back again
18:42
And we should never see that end again. It should just completely disappear
18:50
There we go. So now that's woven in, we can grab our scissors, in theory, without me dropping them
19:00
and just snip that tail end, save that for later. And then we're going to do the same with this other tail end here
19:08
We're just going to weave it into the same seam. There we go
19:13
Just literally in. Make sure you're not pulling too tightly so it doesn't scrunch up
19:18
If I pull tight, you'll see it pull in. so we don't want that to happen. And then back the other way
19:26
Oops, it's come off my needle. Come on through, there you go
19:30
And then we'll just do it for a third time. There we go
19:38
We should never see those ends again. It's sad, really, but anyway
19:44
There we go. Just snip that one there. And that completes the headband element of this pattern
19:50
So we're just going to pop that over there, get rid of those ends, and then find the end of your yarn, because we're going to make the band that goes round it, and that's how it gets that little bow shaped as well
20:07
So with the same size crochet hook, so we're using our 5.5mm crochet hook, we're going to start by making another slip knot
20:16
So tail yarn in your hand that doesn't hold the hook. And bring it over, drop that working yarn behind just to pull
20:25
And create that slip knot. Pop it onto our hook, tighten that by pulling on the working yarn
20:32
And we're simply going to, this time, just chain 15. So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15
21:02
So this time we're going to do the exact same stitch in the second chain from the hook
21:06
So this one doesn't count. We're not going to work into the first one. We're going into this one here
21:11
So we yarn over and insert under that top loop of the chain, yarn over to bring that loop up
21:19
and do a half treble crochet, which is a US half double crochet
21:23
We've worked into that one. We're going into this one. And we're going to place a half treble crochet into each of these chains along
21:33
so we will end up with a total of 14 half treble crochets
21:39
this is a bit super quick because we only have to do three rows
21:44
to give us the width that we need just work that half treble into each of these ones along here
22:22
And then that's number 15
22:34
14, sorry. So we should have 14 along here. Let's have a look
22:39
We've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
22:49
Perfect. So, before we turn, we're just going to do a quick chain one
22:55
Get a little bit more yarn. And we're going to straightaway yarn over
22:59
We're not going to rib this part, we're going to leave it smooth. So we're going to work under the stitch
23:04
So there's our chain and that first stitch right underneath that chain
23:08
We're going to pop the hook through, getting both those loops this time from that stitch
23:13
Yarn over to bring that loop up. And yarn over to pull through all three and complete that half treble crochet
23:20
and we're just going to work a half treble crochet into each of these stitches across
23:32
sorry excuse me counting i not very good at counting in my head I kind of count out loud which is probably annoying for everybody else but everybody else isn here right now
23:42
So, I might have to overdub that to comment, but who knows
23:51
Yep, so just work that half treble crochet all the way along. making sure you're working into that last one there as well you don't want to miss that one
24:14
remember you can use your stitch markers to mark the first and last if you want to as well
24:19
We're going to do one final row of these, so just chain one to turn once again, and do a half treble crochet into that first stitch where you did the chain one, and work all the way along that row once again
24:38
Placing a half treble crochet into each stitch along. so
25:17
i got number 14 and that is number shane no it's not number 13 and number 14. so once again that's
25:25
it that's all we need to do for this little bit here so we're going to do the chain one and then
25:32
we're going to just again leave a probably about six inches we don't need much to sew this up
25:36
grab your scissors snip that and then with your hook bring that loop up and pull gently just to
25:45
cinch it in so there isn't isn't really a right or wrong side to your headband so it's a case of
25:54
choosing whichever side you want to use as your front and your back side so to speak
25:59
So grab your little bit that we've just made and kind of pass it underneath because what we're going
26:06
to do is we're going to scrunch up these little ribs here and then we're going to
26:18
to sew this bit together and that will give us our bow shape. So once it's kind of in place
26:26
you can hold it and do this at the same time, that's amazing, I can't. I'm just going to thread
26:30
my darning needle with that tail that we left to sew up with and I'm going to again, once again
26:37
just put those ends together and we're just going to whip stitch this closed. So just literally
26:46
bring it into that first corner and under where you just finished and just bring that through and
26:56
literally stitch so I don't mean to be doing knots there we are the whole way along just to secure it
27:03
we're going to not going to secure it in place quite yet because want to make sure we're happy
27:08
with how the headband is sitting make sure those corners are meeting up again
27:16
and then one more there we go so now that that's kind of loosely tied on i'm just going to take my
27:30
needle back out and pop that there turn it inside out because what we want to do is make this
27:38
be sitting pretty so to speak because we're going to attach this band around the headband
27:46
onto the headband so it never shifts. Once you're happy with how your band is kind of scrunched up in between your band
28:02
and it all looks nice and neat and sits beautifully flat. I need to pull that along a little bit, there we go
28:13
There's my join, move that over a little bit. we don't want that ever you see my joins just under there i don't want people to ever to see
28:20
that again so i am going to just turn it inside out again making sure that it's kind of central
28:29
to the back and i'm going to re-thread my needle with that end and i'm simply just going to start from this side and going in and under
28:44
kind of coming out a little bit further away to attach this band onto the actual
28:53
headband itself. We don't want it to come through the other side
28:57
because we don't want any colour to show but we just want it to be secured in place
29:04
so it doesn't jiggle round. You're not wearing your headband and all of a sudden everybody can
29:09
see your seam and all that kind of stuff so we're just securing it all in place so that your cinching
29:16
all looks nice and you're happy with how it looks so keep checking have a look make sure you haven't
29:22
scrunched up anything in the wrong place and then you can sew that on and then we're just going to
29:29
weave this end in so i'm going to take it back to the seam of where we sewed those together
29:35
gently pull there we are and then I'm just going to weave that in
29:43
backwards and forwards three times so it never comes out again so you're literally just going in pull it through
29:51
come back again and then for a final time always going in and out different places
29:59
there we go so that's all secured so i can snip that end off
30:08
there we go and then we're just going to weave this end in as well we haven't sewn on with this
30:14
one don't have to unless you really want it to be super super secure but i don't see that moving
30:20
anywhere in particular in the near future so you can literally just weave that in and under
30:27
a few times just so that it doesn't come out again. There we go
30:47
And there we have one beautifully completed little bow shaped autumnal ribbed headband. All completed, ready to wear. Hope you've enjoyed this video. Go and
