Want to learn to knit or need practice? This is a beginner-level Ear Warmer Pattern to try. This uses a 4-ply medium-weight yarn like Patons Canadiana. I used Red Heart Heat Wave, but you can use Red Heart Super Saver and yarns like that as well.
Your goal isn't perfection, but try to be more consistent and get used to the hand movement of knitting.
