These beginner friendly crochet wrist warmers are such a fun, quick and easy make. They are perfect for Autumn when the temperature drops cooler. I find wrist warmers so handy especially on days out as they give you more freedom having your fingers out whilst keeping your hands nice and snug! Wearing wrist warmers mean I can still use my phone, reach for my car keys and find what ever I need in my bag that little bit quicker when I’m out and about.
Crochet wrist warmers also make great gifts too, so if you love to make handmade gifts you might want to give these a try. Keep reading for all the information, two video tutorials to help you along the way plus some yarn colour inspiration below.

Hello Sarah, I’m sorry but I’m confused about how exactly to size this to our own wrists? Thank you.
Hi Katelynn, to size the wrist warmers you just need to chain a multiple of three and then wrap it around your wrist to check for sizing – if it feels too loose you should chain less stitches and if it feels too tight you should add more I hope this helps.
Argh! I’ve done row one 4 times now and I always end up with 3 chains rather than 4. I have shortened the foundation chain to 33 and then added 4 – that’s right isn’t it??? I cannot see where I am losing a stitch. 🙁
Hi Christina Sorry to hear you’re having trouble with this; I’m going to double check the pattern but in the meantime if you add 5 chains onto the end instead of 4 it should work out for you
Hello Sarah, I’m fairly new to crocheting and I’m using yarns of the same make but two colours. When I add the row of second colour the first bit in main colour curls up. What am I doing wrong?
I’ve also had the same problem as previous poster. I notice your written instructions are slightly different to the video. Should I add 4 or 5 to the chain?
Hi Sylvia, If you’ve not already then I would recommend that you watch my video tutorial on how to change colours here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaIuAWV2BA4 as that may help you Sometimes you need to pull on the ends of the yarn slightly to adjust them so that they sit right. I will also have the written instructions for the pattern double checked, thank you for picking up the discrepancy
