Pattern Notes
These wrist warmers can be made with any super bulky weight yarn, but I love Wool Ease Thick and Quick because it’s easy to find in stores and there are a ton of color options including solid, prints/stripes, and metallic.
Each color type has a slightly different length of yarn included in each skein, which is why I don’t say specifically how many skeins you need for each color.
These wrist warmers are worked in a round tube starting from the bottom edge and working upwards. If the starting chain number does not comfortably fit around your wrist (about 2” below your wrist bone), add or subtract chains until it fits.
Gauge: 6.5 sts and 7 rounds measures 4″ worked single crochet in the round
Finished Size: These wrist warmers will fit you if your hand circumference is 7.5″-8″. They will measure 7″ long.
