another ear warmer pattern

As I was dabbling around with ear warmers recently, I put together another pattern, this one loosely based on the fingerless glove pattern that I make most of the time. To be honest, I'm not sure how thrilled I am with the pattern as it now stands, but it's a start, and sometimes a start is good enough. Like now, for instance.
