Arm warmers are a great way to keep your arms warm during cold weather when wearing lightweight shirts. Arm warmers are worn directly on the skin or over the end of a sleeve. These versatile arm warmers add character and color to any outfit. The pattern uses only a single crochet stitch so it is easy enough for a beginner.
Things You’ll Need:
Soft 4-ply worsted weight yarn or chunky yarn
Size J/10/6mm crochet hook
Scissors
Instructions:
Row 1 – Chain 24 stitches. Join the last chain to the first chain in the row with a slipstitch making sure the row does not twist.
Row 2 – Chain 1 stitch. Single crochet in the same stitch as the chain 1 and in each stitch around. Join with a slipstitch in this row and each row thereafter.
Row 3 through 6 – Chain 1 stitch. Single crochet in the back loop of the connection stitch and each stitch around. Join.
Row 7 through 29 – Chain 1 stitch. Single crochet in the back loop of the connection stitch. Single crochet in the front loop of the next stitch and the back loop of the following – repeat the pattern around. Join.
Row 30 – Chain 1 stitch. Single crochet in each stitch around. Join.
Add a flair or bell to the bottom of the arm warmer by adding four single crochet stitches evenly around row 24 then continue with the pattern through row 30. Add addition width to the bell by adding four stitches every 3 rows if more is desired.
