There’s no need to wrap your head up with your scarf or mess up your hat by pulling the brim down when you have a pair of earmuffs, especially ones as cute as these. They are made with bulky yarn, so they don’t need to be stuffed, but you can do so if you like. The muffs and band are simple and require minimal sewing, so they’re a great choice for beginners. The band is tied at the back to secure it while wearing.

Backward crochet stitches open up possibilities for variation in your crochet, and they are also convenient. Crocheting backward without turning is great for working on blankets. Best of all, it’s simple and only a slight variation from regular crochet. For an introduction to backward stitches, see the backward single crochet tutorial.

Left-handed crocheters can hover over the pictures to see a left-handed view of the backward single crochet.

To start, yarn over (YO) and insert your hook into the next stitch from back to front. (The direction of the yarn overs does not matter; do what is comfortable for you.)

The wings have a lot of shaping but intermediate crocheters should have no problem. The wings are crocheted separately and then sewn onto the main body. Feel free to mix and match colors to create a butterfly that is uniquely yours!
