A variation

I had a chance to work on a variation of the ball cap ear warmer designs.  This time, I also added a reflective strand to the edge rows.

I am not as happy with this version.

The reflective strand just sort of disappears in the yarn.

I used front and back post double crochet stitches for the ear warmer portion, and also reduced to row lengths to create a more curved shape.  I think I should have done a couple of rows without decreasing first, to make it wider.  It dies cover the ears well enough, though, and curls more snuggly around them, which would reduce drafts.

I think I will play around with other stitch patterns, too.  The goal is to make the portion over the ears dense and well insulating.
