Easy Wrist Warmers – Free Crochet Pattern

Here in New England, it has been unseasonable warm. On Christmas Day it was 65 degrees! The balmy weather didn’t last too long though…it seems the warm front has gone now, and  Mother Nature has brought on winter full force, complete with frigid temperatures.

So, with the cold weather here I decided to design an easy-to-make pair of wrist warmers that you could whip up in less than an evening. These wrist warmers are very similar to my “Simple Wrist Warmers Free Crochet Pattern”, with one difference. The Simple Wrist Warmers have no increases, and leaves just an opening for the thumb – really simple and great for beginners just starting to work in the round. These Easy Wrist Warmers increase on the way up to the thumb, and then we skip the increased stitches to make an opening for the thumb. Still easy, but requires increases (and one decrease at the end).

If you have some scrap yarn you want to use up, this is a great project for it. Change colors each round for a truly unique wrist warmer. Since it uses only a small amount of yarn, you could make two, maybe even three pairs of wrist warmers per skein of yarn. Have fun and happy hooking!!
