Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn
• Crochet Hook: 9.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 6 rows = 4 inches in pattern stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chain 18: Start by making a slip knot and chaining 18 stitches. Make sure your chain is not twisted. Once you have your chain, join it with a slip stitch to form a ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 2 (this counts as your first half double crochet, or hdc). Now, work one hdc into each chain around the ring. After you complete this round, join with a slip stitch to the top of the starting chain to close the round.
3. Round 2: Chain 2 again. Now, you will create the ribbed texture. *Front Post Double Crochet (fpdc) around the next stitch, then Back Post Double Crochet (bpdc) around the next stitch.* Repeat from * to * around the entire round. This creates a lovely ribbed effect. Once you reach the end of the round, join with a slip stitch to close.
4. Continue Rounds: Repeat Round 2 until your piece measures 6 inches from the starting edge. Make sure to keep your tension consistent to maintain the shape and texture of your wrist warmers.
5. Finish Up: Once you reach the desired length, fasten off your yarn by cutting it, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Pull the tail through the last loop on your hook to secure it. Finally, weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your wrist warmers a neat finish.
