Go beyond the granny square

We are in the middle of a cold snap. Last night’s low was 28 degrees. This cooler weather has me looking up patterns for warm accessories. One really cool item is wrist warmers.

They are basically fingerless gloves. Gloves are great but it’s so hard to do some tasks with gloves on. These wrist warmers are easy to crochet up and different stitches can be used to add interest to them. Right now I do mine with half double crochet and working in either the front or back loop to get the pattern I want.

We are going to a high school football game Friday, so I’m making a pair for my daughter since she really doesn’t wear gloves. These do really help to keep your whole hand warm. Here is a simple pattern to try from Crochet Pattern Central.
