Creating the Twist

Fold your rectangle right side in so that the two long sides meet (the short sides will be folded in half).

Hold the two folded short sides (photo 1).  Place each folded short end together so that where they join alternates between sides (see Photo 2)

Using the tail of yarn from the last row and a yarn needle, sew back and forth between all 4 layers of the short edge until they are completely seemed together (photo 3).

Flip the ear warmer right side out, and you will see the twist!  Tie off yarn and weave in ends.
