I’ve teamed up with Marie of Underground Crafter, and 27 other bloggers for the 2019 Christmas in July Make Along! What is really cool about this particular make along is that there is a variety of projects including crochet, knitting and sewing.

I signed up for a knitting pattern. If you are a regular to EyeLoveKnots, you know that this is the first knitting pattern I have shared on the blog – how exciting! I took a couple knitting classes a year or two ago at my favorite local yarn shop – Four Purls, and I have been dabbling in it a little here, and a little there, but this is my first published pattern. Quite an accomplishment!

This earwarmer takes a little bit of time, but is comprised of only simple knit and purl stitches, perfect for a beginner!
