Smile Easy Plastic Ear Muff cover
Old 04-20-2009, 10:46 PM   #1 (permalink)

:idea:
A few years ago (actually 1991), I covered the plastic headband on ear muffs as they hurt my kids heads.
I used worsted weight yarn (the kids picked the color) and a size G (4.00 mm) hook.

I just measured the length of the band when extended fully from one muff to the other, crocheted a chain that amount I single crochet, and then made it wide enough to fit over when folded. I then sc it together, leaving a tail of yarn long enough to fasten to the earmuff through the grommets. You can also whipstitch the 2 edges together with a large blunt needle.

They never complained again! :up:
