Football Ponytail Headband/Ear Warmer

Before we know it, football season will be in high gear and a chill in the air.  So, I thought I would make a Ponytail Headband/Ear Warmer for the football fans out there.  It didn't take long at all to make.

Football Ponytail Headband/Ear Warmer

          Football Ponytail Headband/Ear Warmer Pattern

Difficulty Level:  Easy

Size:  One size will fit most Teens/Adults

Materials:
--5mm hook
--#4 worsted weight yarn in brown and white (I used Red Heart Supersaver)
--ponytail holder
--tapestry needle for weaving

Stitch Abbreviations:

Ch: chain

Sl st: slip stitch

St: stitch(es)

SC: single crochet

HDC: half double crochet

HDC2tog: half double crochet 2 stitches together 

FO: fasten off 

Directions:
1.  Sl st join brown yarn to ponytail holder and ch1.  24 SC around ponytail holder.  Sl st to first st and ch1.  (24)
2-3.  1 HDC in each st around.  Sl st to join and ch1.  (24)
4.   1 HDC in the first 8 st.  Ch1 and turn.  (8)

Stitch Marker Placement:
Before continuing, you will want to place 2 stitch markers on the opposite side of the ponytail holder.  So, from row 3, count over the first 8 st, and then the next 4 st and into stitch 13 place a stitch marker.  Count over 7 stitches and place the 2nd stitch marker into stitch 20.

Here's a short video link showing how to start this project, where to place stitch markers and why
