Ribbed Knit Twist Front Ear Warmer

A plain ribbed band gathered into a soft twist at the centre front, lined through with fleece so the warmth does not depend on thickness alone. Without any pattern to compete with, it works under a coat hood or with a scarf without the outfit getting busy. The rib has enough give to sit over the ears without pressing, and the flat back means no bulk under a hat. Thirteen shades cover deep neutrals through to salmon, mango and fuchsia.

• Fit: One size, stretch band
