Headset Ear Covers
NOVEMBER 14, 2008
When you have to wear a stupid headset for 3+ hours at a time, and you really don’t want cauliflower ears …
Size: To fit a Logitech ClearChat Comfort USB headset, but I think most of the padded ear pieces are about the same size
Materials:
Knit Picks Andean Silk, much less than 1 skein
1 set of US #6/4.0 mm double pointed needles (set of 5)
Stitch marker (optional)
Polyfill (or whatever else you want to pad them with)
Tapestry needle
Gauge: I didn’t bother checking as I was knitting and measuring as I went along 
Pattern:
CO 8 sts over 4 ndls; place marker (if desired) and join to begin working in the round, being careful not to twist.
K 1 round.
Increase round: Inc. in every st (16 sts).
Knit 3 rounds.
Repeat last 4 rounds twice more (16 sts on each ndl for a total of 64 sts).
Decrease round: K2tog to end (32 sts).
Knit 3 rounds.
BO all sts loosely.
Finishing:
Use some polyfill (or whatever) to stuff the covers.
When sewing in the ends, take this opportunity to “gather” the cover a little bit over the ear pads so that they stay on.
