  1. Do you think this would stay on, in bed? I'm seriously considering it as my husband prefers to sleep with the bedroom window open, year round.

  3. I am always telling my kids to put on their nose warmers when going out in winter. When I found this pattern we were all cracking up. The whole family will be getting nose warmers in their stockings this year! Awesome pattern!

  4. I just want to thank you so much for this pattern!! Have begun going through "the change" in life and the nose gets very cold in evenings. Hope husband gets a laugh seeing me walk around house with this on, but I will at least have a warm and cosy nose. LOL Thanks again.

  6. I started to make this by casting 40 sts. onto dpn's. then split the 40 sts onto 3 dpn's. and joined into a Round. As I continue in ROUNDS, the piece is starting to look like an elephants trunk with a hole on both sides. I know that would be cute, but would not keep nose warm. I know I am doing something wrong. Do I just cast on 40 sts. to ONE of the dpn's and then with another dpn just start knitting them in ROWS back and forth?? I am going to try this tonight and see if I answered my own question. lol But this is too cute to just give up on. Thank you for your time. Pray you and your family are having a great holiday together with lots of nose warmers.

  7. I love it! It brings back memories. My grandma made these for us. Mine was sage green/white striped and had a tassel on the end. I knit one for a friend out of sock yarn. She didnt know anything like this existed. Yours turned out far better than mine. Thanks for the awesome pattern. Terri

  9. For the past few months I have been suffering from an extremely painful cold nose. I have just knit this and already it's a tremendous help. I don't care what I look like, it's a lifesaver, thank you so much for posting!!!

  10. A friend asked me if i knew how to make one. I thought she was kidding. i have never heard of nose warmers. Then she told me when her nose gets cold, it triggers a migraine and she wore one for years until it wore out. I am a sock knitter, so I have lots of small ball ends. A perfect match. Thank you for sharing.
