First, the preparation materials:

Crocheting: Choose crochet suitable for metal wire, and choose crochet with corresponding size according to the thickness of metal wire.

Wire: Choose wire with good warmth retention, such as wool or wool blended yarn.

Other tools: scissors, rulers (for measuring), pins (for fixing thread ends), etc.

Second, the production steps:

1. Measuring dimensions

Measure the head circumference: measure the head circumference gently around the head with a ruler as a size reference for the ear protection cap.

Determine the height: determine the height of the ear protection cap according to personal preference, generally including ears and forehead, or extending below the neck.

Start crocheting

Knitting top: crochet a tight link from the top of the hat, and then crochet an appropriate number of crochets at the link.

Form a circle: after crochet, connect the two ends of the crocheted hat with crochet to form a circle.

Extended edge: Start from the top of the hat and crochet the edge. According to the need, gradually increase the number of crochets, so that the hat gradually extends downward.

Design earmuffs: design earmuffs on one side or both sides of the hat according to personal preferences. You can increase the number of rows of crochets, or you can design special patterns to cover your ears.

Step 3: Tidy up

End knitting: when the height of the hat reaches a satisfactory length, end it with a link to ensure that the bottom of the hat does not expose the link.

Thread cutting: hide the thread in the hat or fix it with needle and thread to ensure that it is not easy to loosen.

Trim and finalize the design: trim the hat to ensure that the shape and size meet the expectations.

Third, matters needing attention:

Tightness control: ensure the crochet is tight and uniform, and avoid the hat being too loose or too tight.

Wire selection: Choose wires with good warmth and high comfort to avoid skin allergy or discomfort.

Personalized design: you can add decorations according to your personal preferences, such as burrs and flowers, to make the hat more personalized.

It takes patience and skill to make oversized ear protection caps. After mastering the basic skills of crochet, you can design hats according to your personal preferences and needs, and you can make warm, practical, fashionable and beautiful ear protection hats.
