RIPPLE WRIST WARMERS

Great way to use up all those teeny weeny balls of yarn you have left over


Made a couple of pairs of wrist warmers after taking my daily dose of Inspirational Attic24
Had thought the simple ripple pattern l was using would be a real easy pattern to convert to a wrist warmer....liked the point over the hand and palm...just added a loop to the point to go over the middle finger so the glove stays in place quick to make too

SIMPLE PATTERN:
24 CHAIN….4 TREBLE INCREASE OF 3 TREBLE IN NEXT STITCH
THEN 4 TREBLE AND A DECREASE OF 3 TREBLE IN NEXT 3 STITCHES (RETAIN THE HALF TREBLE AND PULL YARN THOUGH ALL 4 LOOPS ON THE HOOK TOGETHER)
THEN REPEAT AGAIN…..24STITCHES ALL TOGETHER

I used Double strand DK or chunky on a 6mm hook the last 4 rows done with a 5.5mm hook (HAND AREA)

FINISH with a single crochet and a 6 chain loop at the front point to go over middle finger…keeps the glove in place….looks quite Medieval too!

  3. I was looking for a wrist warmer pattern using the puff stitch. Just finished a beanie with the puff stitch...These will match nicely. Thank you for a great pattern.
