Pattern Notes

1) A ch2 at beg of the row counts as hdc, a ch3 at beg of the row counts as dc throughout.

2) The project is crocheted in rounds. Rounds are finished with sl st.

3) Bellow, there is a pattern for smaller size wrist warmers - these one fits my 6 year old son. You can always adjust this pattern by making the starting chain longer or shorter.

4) For crocheting the women size wrist warmers follow this link - then continue with decorating them to create funny snowmen wrist warmers

Pattern

Make a slip knot and ch20, join to first chain to make a circle. Be sure not to twist your chain.

R1: ch3 (counts as 1 dc), 1dc into each st around till end of the row, sl st into the 3rd ch from the beg.
You will have 20 dc

R2: ch3 (counts as 1 bpdc), 1fpdc in next st, *1bpdc in next st, 1fpdc in next st* repeat from * to * around till end of the row, sl st into the 3rd ch from the beg
You will have 20 stitches

R3 - R7 = repeat R2

R8: ch2 (counts as 1 hdc), 1hdc in each st around till end of the row, sl st into the 2rd ch from the beg
You will have 20 hdc.
Make sure you have 20 stitches in each row.

The first part is done! Now we will start increasing.

R9: ch2 (counts as 1 hdc), 1hdc in next 3 st, 2hdc in next st,
*1hdc in next 4 st, 2hdc in next st" * repeat from * to * around till end of the row, sl st into the 2rd ch from the beg
You will have 24 hdc.

You will have 24 hdc.

R11: ch2 (counts as 1 hdc), 1hdc in next 4 st, 2hdc in next st,
*1hdc in next 5 st, 2hdc in next st" * repeat from * to * around till end of the row, sl st into the 2rd ch from the beg

You will have 28 hdc.

R13 - 16: repeat R12
Make sure you have 28 hdc stitches in each row.

We will make the thumb hole in the next row.

R17: skip 9 st, join the work by sl st into the 10th st, ch2 (counts as 1 hdc), 1hdc in each st around till end of the row, sl st into the 2rd ch from the beg
You will have 19 hdc.

R18 - R20: ch2 (counts as 1 hdc), 1hdc in each st around till end of the row, sl st into the 2rd ch from the beg
Make sure you have 19 hdc stitches in each row.

R21: 1 sl st in each st around till end of the row

Cut the yarn and fasten off.

Optional: you can decorate your wrist warmers with a colourful belt

Cut 9 strands (or more or less - just number must multiple of 3) of any coloured yarn you like.

Divide strands into 3 equal sections - 3 groups. One is on left side, one is in the middle, one is on the right side.

Do a braid - cross the group on the right side over into the middle, then cross the group on the left side over into the middle, again cross the group on the right over into the middle, then again take the group on the left side and cross it into the middle and repeat these steps till the end, finish by a knot.

Pull the string into the last row of double crochets (R7) - pull the string over each back front double crochets and under each front post double crochets.

Make a nose:

Make a magic ring

R1: ch2 (counts as 1 hdc), 2hdc into the magic ring, turn (3hdc)

R2: ch2 (counts as 1 hdc), 2hdc into next st, 1hdc in the next st, turn (4hdc)

R3: ch2 (counts as 1 hdc), 2hdc into next st, 1hdc in the next 2 st (5hdc)

Fasten off leaving long tail to stitch the nose onto the wrist warmer.

Assembly
Place the nose on the wrist warmer on the 12th and 13th row, approximately in the middle of the wrist warmer.
Join the nose with the wrist warmer by slip stitching around the nose.

Make two eyes:
Sew the black yarn around one hdc several times, from up to down, from left to right etc.
Find one hdc on the 14th row for the first eye and the second one about 3 stitches away on the 15th row, so they are not on the same line.

Make a smile:
Crochet about 7 slip stitches on the 10th row, go a bit down and then go a bit up to the same line as you started.

You can decorate also the woman's wrist warmers!

Here is my guide:
Make a nose:
Make a magic ring

R1: ch2 (counts as 1 hdc), 3hdc into the magic ring, turn

R2: ch2 (counts as 1 hdc), 1hdc into each st turn (4hdc)

R3: ch2 (counts as 1 hdc), 1hdc into each st turn (4hdc)

R4: ch2 (counts as 1 hdc), 1hdc into next st, turn (4hdc)

R4: ch2 (counts as 1 hdc), 1hdc into next st (4hdc)

Fasten off leaving long tail to stitch the nose onto the wrist warmer.

Assembly
Place the nose on the wrist warmer on the 12th and 13th row, approximately in the middle of the wrist warmer.
Join the nose with the wrist warmer by slip stitching around the nose.

Make two eyes:
Make a magic ring

R1: ch2 (counts as hdc), work 10scs into the magic ring.

Cut the yarn, leave a long tail. Place the eyes on the wrist warmer. I put one eye on the 20th and 21st row and the second eye about 3 stitches away on the 22nd and 23rd row of the wrist warmer, so they are not on the same line.

Make the smile:
Crochet about 10 slip stitches on the 15th row, go a bit down and then go up to the 16th row.
