Easy Fleece Ear Warmer Pattern

You that saying, "Cold hands, warm heart"?  What about if it isn't your hands that are cold but your ears?  Does that still mean you have a warm heart?

Even if it doesn't, winter weather means cold ears in my household.  I can't help with the cold hands but first let's get those ears warmed up with the new ear warmer headband pattern.
