Recommended Supplies
- Approx 60 yds; Heavy Worsted Weight Yarn
- 6 mm Crochet Hook
- Yarn Needle
- Scissors
The wrist warmers you see in the photos were made using Red Heart Colorscape yarn in the color Munich, which has since been discontinued. It’s considered a heavy worsted weight yarn, so a medium weight yarn on the thicker side or a bulky (#5) yarn on the lighter side should work well as a substitute.
Lion Brand Scarfie is a great alternative for this project since it has a similar single-ply texture and comes in lots of beautiful colorways. No matter which yarn you choose, be sure to check your gauge so the sizing turns out as expected, and don’t hesitate to adjust your hook size if needed.
