I bought it in the local yarn shop, but now I think that maybe it was not a very good idea to use it. The length of this band is not adjustable, and thus ear muffs are a little bit loose and don’t fit my head in a good way. I think it would be better to wear them with the hat. But my idea from the very beginning was to avoid the hat :)\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EWell, I will wear them anyway, but probably the better solution would be to use ordinary hair-band (better – a metal one), because then you will be confident with the size and shape from the very beginning. The whole process of making ear muffs will be the same, but you will just have more flexibility in deciding on how to attach muffs to the band.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-0h3aLyMTwgc\/Vp45hT-bkpI\/AAAAAAAADVw\/It46coUSq5s\/s1600\/ear%2Bmuffs%2B1.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg alt=\"Crocheted ear muffs with flower.
