I designed this ear warmer as a gift for Amanda, my sister-in-law. She, too, is a coffee lover, so I couldn’t resist creating Oat Milk Latte for her! And then, of course, I immediately made myself one, and I have to say, it has already been worn several times!
Oat Milk Latte has a lovely cabled texture with a slipped stitch edge. The Oysters and Purls yarn I chose for this design is just delightful!
Oat Milk Latte would be perfect for quick gift knits as well as treating yourself.
This ear warmer would be great for the knitter who isn’t afraid to try a few new techniques like a provisional cast-on, basic cables, and Kitchener stitch.
The earwarmer is knit flat from side to side. The earwarmer is then grafted together.
