“Madonna” Inspired Wristers – Free Crochet Pattern
|I have an affinity towards neon…I can’t help it, being a child of the 80’s. Ah, the 80’s…when MTV actually played music videos. Before there was Miley Cyrus or Britney Spears, there was Madonna. She was a cultural icon, both in music and in fashion. These wristers were inspired by her. She would’ve liked them in black, but everyone needs a little color in their life.

I like this pattern, however I wonder if there should be 2 rows of single crochet at the bottom. I read it as one, but the pictures seem to show 2. I’m not redoing this at this point, but will try 2 rows the next time.
You are correct, thanks for pointing that out! I’m going to fix it right now. Thanks again. Happy hooking!
