Special Stitches
Yarn Over Slip Stitch (yo-slst): Yarn over (yo) and insert the hook into indicated st; yarn over and draw the yarn through. (You have now 3 loops on the hook). Having the 3 loops on hook, pull/slip the first loop on hook through the next 2 loops on hook to complete a Yarn Over Slip Stitch (yo-slst).
Yarn over slip stitch back loops only (yo-slst-blo): Work the stitch as described above, but inserting the hook only into the back loops of the stitches.
Notes
The ch1 at the beginning of the rows will not count as a st.
Always count your stitches! Be careful not to lose the sts at the end of the rounds! You might like to use st markers into the first st and last st of the rounds!
The ear warmer is worked in the round, but turning after joining with slip stitch into the round! After each round you will change the direction of the work!
The stitch pattern is reversible, allowing you to choose either side as the right side.
