Crochet Pattern: Beginner’s Wrist Warmers with Ridges
By Rachel – 82 Comments| For the colder days, here is a pair of wrist warms (fingerless gloves) to crochet. They are designed to fit snug and keep your wrist and arms extremely warm while leaving your fingers free to move around. As a beginner level pattern, you will be crocheting a rectangle that will fold around your arm. The piece will then be sewn shut, leaving a small hole for your thumb. These wrist warmers are fast and easy to crochet! |  |
| Skill Level: |  |
Finished Size: 3″ (7.5 cm) wide, 9 1/2″ (24 cm) long – size small
Note:Wrist warmer can also be adjusted using the instructions within the pattern. Wrist warmer should stretch to fit snugly.

Materials: Medium Weight Yarn (approximately 200 yards) Crochet Hook I (5.50 mm) Yarn Needle |

Crochet Pattern: Wrist Warmers (makes one wrist warmer)
Row 1: ch 41 (or a chain that is the length of your desired wrist warmer from lower arm to palm of hand), sc in second ch from hook and in each ch across: 40 sc
Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc in back loop only of each sc across: 40 sc
Repeat row 2, twenty-eight times or until the wrist warmer wraps snugly around your palm, wrist and lower arm. Remember that the wrist warmer should stretch.
Use yarn needle to sew sides of wrist warmer together leaving a 2” (5 cm) hole 1” (2.5 cm) from the end.
If you need help crocheting these wrist warmers, let me know and I’ll be glad to help!
I love these and I am making a pair, but until they are finished I use old socks with the toes cut out. lol. Do you have a pattern with just small holes for the fingers?
Yin, Sorry I don’t have a pattern with small finger holes. But you can add small holes to the bottom of this pattern if you desire. To do so, you can make joins between each of the fingers.
Hello, I have just started learning to crochet and am making these. They look good so far, except for one thing. Each row seems to be getting progressively shorter. I know they have the same number of sc in each row, so I do not understand why this is happening. I assume it has something to do with the turn at the end-something must be going wrong there-any ideas?
Hi Monica, if each row has the same number of stitches, try making sure you have a consistent tension as you work too. Also, when you turn, be sure to make the chain 1 at the beginning of the row. This will ensure that you have the height necessary to start the row. Here’s a post that has more tips that may help: 7 Tips to Establish Consistency in Crochet
Wonderful pattern, I made them a bit shorter and then added a fuzzy yarn cuff after I sewed up the side for the girls and they just loved them!!! thanks
Hello, I w as wondering if the crochet ate going up and down the arm, ot around the arm. I am confused at that, and my crocheting is becoming shorter than the other even though its the same count. Help me please!!!!!!
Koala, as you crochet each row it’ll be going up and down the arm if you were to hold it up to your arm. Here’s a post that has some tips that may help with your piece shortening: 7 Tips to Establish Consistency in Crochet
Thank you so much I was getting a bit confused!
Thankyou for posting this. I can’t wait to try the pattern out. These look like they will be perfect for work! I am always taking my gloves off so now I may not have too!
Does 200 yards make one wrist warmer or both?
Aaron, 200 yards is for both.
I am making these for my 3 year old niece. I did 30 sc across so they can fit her tiny arms
Can’t wait to give them to her!
