Easy Ear Savers for Face Masks (Free Crochet Pattern + Video Tutorial)
Dear fellow crocheters,
If you're looking for a way to help our frontline workers during this crazy time through the magic of crochet, you can do so by making these EAR SAVERS!
Ear savers are super functional tools to help protect the ears from chafing when wearing a medical face mask. These are a great item to donate to hospitals, health centers, grocery stores, and the like to show our support. Make one today for a nurse, doctor, healthcare provider, medical professional, grocery store worker, and other frontline workers!
The awesome thing about this DIY project is that it can be completed in about 7-8 minutes, depending on how quickly you sew those buttons on. ;) Who doesn't love a project that takes under 10 minutes?
To add on to that, the PDF pattern is FREE to download if you want a printable copy, PLUS I have a complete video tutorial of the step-by-step instructions for this beginner crochet pattern. Scroll down for both.
