Crochet Wrist Warmers Pattern Tutorial





In my last post, I used my basic boot cuff pattern to make a neck warmer.
Now I am going to use that same basic pattern to make wrist warmers.

Please feel free to sell your finished warmers.


Materials:

Once again, I used the same Aran and Passion yarns.
Size J/10 (6.00mm) crochet hook
Size F/5 (3.75mm) crochet hook
Yarn needle

Gauge is the same as the boot cuff pattern

DC = Double Crochet
SC = Single Crochet
SS = Slip Stitch
CH = Chain  
The CH 3 at the beginning of each row is considered a DC in this pattern



Wrist warmer - Make 2

With Aran yarn and J hook - CH 15

Row 1 - DC in 3rd CH from hook and in each CH across (14 DC). CH 3, turn.

Rows 2 - 11 - DC in next DC, working in the Back Loop Only, DC in the next 10 DC, working through both loops, DC in last 2 DC (14 DC). CH 3, turn.

Row 12  (this is the wrong side) - DC in next DC, working in the Back Loop Only, DC in the next 10 DC, working through both loops, DC in last 2 DC (14 DC). 

Fasten off.






Wrist warmer top trim: 

Switch to the F crochet hook.
With wrong side facing and working along the long edge, attach Passion yarn to the first DC, one row down.






Row 1 - CH 4 and DC in the same DC. *CH 1, DC in next DC, CH 1, DC in the same DC*.
Repeat from * to * across to end. CH 1, turn. (12 V stitches)







Row 2 - SC in first DC, *5 DC in the next CH 1 space ( this will be the center of the V stitch), SC in the next CH 1 space (this will be the CH 1 space between the V stitches)* 
Repeat from * to * across, ending with 5 DC in last CH 1 space. (12 - 5 DC shells)

Fasten off, leaving an 8" tail.





Wrist warmer bottom trim:

Row 1 - Using the F crochet hook, working along the opposite long edge with right side facing, attach the Passion yarn with a SC (directions in the neck warmer pattern), SC in the same DC.
Work 2 SC in each DC across (24 SC). CH 1, turn.




Rows 2 & 3 - SC in each SC across (24 SC).
At the end of Row 3, fasten off, leaving a 6" tail.



Rose: Make 2

Using the size F crochet hook and Passion yarn, follow the rose pattern for the boot cuffs.


Finishing:

Thread the long Aran tail onto the yarn needle. Fold the warmer with right sides facing, sew the edges of the warmer together working in the back loops to maintain the ridged pattern.
Fasten off, weave in ends.

Thread the long Passion yarn tail onto the yarn needle and sew the top trim edges together. Fasten off, weave in the ends. Repeat for the bottom trim. Turn the warmer right side out.


If you want the warmers longer and/or wider, this pattern is easily altered by simply adding stitches or rows.
