Crochet Pattern: Beginner’s Wrist Warmers with Ridges
| 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! |  |

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.

Thank you for this great pattern, I will definitely crochet these!
I hope I can do these for my sister in law, who is a mail carrier. She would love them!
I have ADHD and I am dyslexic, so I have tried many patterns that I just couldn’t figure out =0/

Hey Rachel, I Love these, with winter coming I am going to do these in Pink Camo
Thanks
Do you think a teenage boy would like these? in a masculine yarn of course?
You can definitely make them for men too, Faith! I wrote a pattern for a “man version” a while back: Crochet Pattern: Fingerless Gloves for Men
I walk my dogs alot and I must make these!
hey Rachel,
thanks for this pattern, they were so easy and quick to do and just in time as its getting pretty cold in here now.
Hi Rachel,
I always check your website! I love your wrist warmers. What yarn did you use for the ones on the picture? I love the color!
Thanks Evelyn, I used Caron Simply Soft – Autumn Red.

Made this to wear while camping in the cold. They kept my arms and wrists warm and toasty. I am making more to wear when the weather is cooler here in California.
I absolutely love this blog you’re doing. Its been making me able to find easy easy patterns because im a reoccuring beginner (i learned 10 years ago and now im relearning) im making these with some lovely rainbow yarn for myself
red heart brand, and its the primary rainbow color that i used
I made these yesterday and they turned out great. The ribbed pattern is great because it allows the wristers to stretch. Only took me a couple hours, plus the pattern was very simple and relaxing to crochet.
These were so easy to make have made myself a pair of these I love them and they are easy to make thank you Rachael for such an easy pattern and they work up really fast
Thanks so much for this pattern, Rachel! I have already made 3 pair – each with a different type of yarn. They’ve all turned out great, and I can’t wait to make more to give to my friends and family for Christmas. I’m so glad I found your site. It’s the best!
I really like your patterns I was just wondering what your policy is on selling completed items from your free patterns. Thanks again
Hi Emily, you can sell the completed crochet items as long as you give credit to where you found the pattern.
I used a chunky yarn and LOVE them! I am so new to crocheting and your site makes my projects look so much more advanced! Thank you!
Hello,
I just wanted to say that I made a pair of these wristwarmers………AWESOME!!!!!!!! I did a ch 50 because I have wide wrists and I wanted to make sure they’d be long enough for me. They turned out awesome. I followed the pattern with a US-J size hook and they stitched up in 1 day.
Thanks for a great pattern. I think I will be making many more pairs of these. I think my next pair I’ll experiment with some self-striping yarn and see what happens.
Hi, I’m a complete newbie, I’m teaching myself, and this is my first project. I’m using a J hook. The first one turned out great! But I’m having trouble with the second one. I chained the same number on the second one as I did on the first one, I did 38, but the second one is coming out longer? I seem to remember that when I was doing the first one and I was maybe three or four rows in I held it up to my arm and it was fairly long but when I was done with it it was shorter than when I tested it with the first few rows. Does that mean that while the second one is appearing longer at 3 or 4 rows it will be shorter when it’s done too? I don’t want to do the entire thing and have it come out a different length and have to unwind it and do it all over again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

This is great. Thaks for sharing!
In Beginner’s wrist warmers, you said to sc in the back loop only to make it stretchy. If you are crocheting, using a hdc, can you use the back loops only to make that item more stretchy?
Thanks so much!
Chris
Hi Chris, you can use the hdc if you like. The ridges will turn out bigger.
I love this pattern! I wnat to make some to match my hat. I only have to balls left, together they make 200 yards. I was wondering if 200 yards makes one glove or 2? the yarn was a gift so I don’t know where to get more.
Hi Emma, 200 yards should make 2 gloves.
Hi Rachel, I wanted to know if this pattern would be possible without the ridges, or if it would be easier to do it with ridges, I would like to do the easiest. I love your website! I would greatly appreciate it if you would help me with my problem.
Sadie, the ridges are pretty easy to make. The difference between the wrist warmer with or without the ridges is the loop you insert your hook into to make the stitch. If you do not want to make the ridges, then simply put your hook though both loops instead of just the back loop.
Thank you so much for your help!
Hi Rachel, how long do you think it would take me to crochet one pair since I am kind of new to crocheting?
Hmm…maybe an hour or 2? It’s hard to estimate. You can try to make a couple of rows and multiply the time it took you.
Love this pattern, thanks so much for posting it!
