Hotel Aviemore

Introducing the Hotel Aviemore Earwarmer, a stylish and functional accessory inspired by a charming small hotel nestled in the breathtaking Cairngorm National Forest. This earwarmer is skillfully knitted in the round, featuring exquisite slip-stitch detailing that not only adds a touch of elegance but is also perfect for utilizing your stash yarn. With its quick-knit design, the Hotel Aviemore Earwarmer is an ideal project for knitters of all skill levels, making it a must-have addition to your winter wardrobe.

This versatile earwarmer seamlessly complements a variety of styles—whether you're hitting the slopes while skiing in the picturesque Highlands, dashing off to class, or taking a casual stroll with your dog through town. Its stretchy and adaptable nature allows for a comfortable fit, but remember that size labels are merely guidelines. Be sure to select the size that closely matches your own head measurements for the best fit.

The Hotel Aviemore Earwarmer is designed to fit head circumferences of 14(16.5, 19, 21, 22.5, 24) inches, ensuring a snug and cozy wear for everyone. Achieving the perfect fit begins with the right gauge: aim for 24 stitches and 24 rows in a 1 x 1 twisted rib using smaller needles to achieve a measurement of 4 inches/10 cm. For the slip-stitch pattern, use larger needles to get 20 stitches and 26 rows in a 4 in/10 cm gauge.

This delightful earwarmer requires 40 (50, 60, 70, 80, 90) yards of worsted weight yarn. The sample shown is knitted using the luxurious Berroco Ultra Alpaca in the elegant “eiderdown” shade, and Cascade 220 in the stunning 2425 “provence” color. Perfect for gifting or personal use, the Hotel Aviemore Earwarmer combines functionality and style, making it an essential accessory for any knitting enthusiast. Dive into this delightful project and keep your ears warm and chic all season long!
