I am always at football games, basketball games, outside in general, so I need something to cover my ears when I am out in the cold. I have made this with solid colors and have made it into a football earwarmer, softball and baseball. I am looking at making it into a basketball too. I hope that you enjoy making these too! Remember, you are starting out the first row by half double crocheting (hdc) around the ponytail holder.

I would love to see your pictures! You have the ability to make it longer and not put the ponytail holder in it. Or you can put a button so the it can be adjusted. This pattern is just limitless.
