Digital Crochet Pattern - Nebel

Nebel is a textured ear warmer made in the round, using worsted weight yarn, although the pattern can be adapted to use Aran or bulky weight yarn.

Nebel is the German word for fog. I live in Ingolstadt, which is located along the Danube River valley. Due to the valley and the weather here, it is often foggy in the morning. This ear warmer is perfect for keeping my ears warm on those foggy days where it is too warm for a hat, but too cold to for my unprotected ears.

Difficulty: Adventurous beginner to intermediate
