Crochet wrist warmers “Anna”
Crochet these cozy wrist warmers/square mittens “Anna” in our wool yarn Chunky wool
The instruction is made for beginners and if it goes too fast, it is easy to pause the video. The text is also written in beginner-friendly text so you can have it as a complement to the video. The wrist warmers are soft and warm and suitable for both men and women. You will need MYO Chunky Wool and a 7 mm crochet hook.
Yarn consumption: about 150-200g depending on how big wrist warmers you crochet.
This is what you need:
Here's how to do it
Start by measuring from the middle of the thumb down to the wrist. Make a slipknot/loop and then thread through the crochet hook. To create a slip knot/loop: Take the end of the yarn and twist 2 turns around your fingers. Use the crochet hook to pull the inner yarn under the outer yarn to create a loop. Thread the crochet hook into the loop.
Row 1: Now we will crochet a chain consisting of approx. 21 loops. The number of loops depends on how far the measurement from the middle of the thumb down to the wrist is. The chain should be the same length as the measurement from the middle of the thumb down to the wrist so you may need to add or remove loops (see photo 1).
Row 2: When you have crocheted a chain that is the same length as the measurement from the middle of the thumb down to the wrist, crochet an extra loop and turn. Now we're going to crochet single stitches all the way to the other side. A single crochet in each loop. You crochet a single stitch by going down into the second loop, picking up yarn, and pulling through (you have two loops on the hook). Then you pick up yarn again and pull through both loops. Continue until you reach the end. If you made 21 loops, you will crochet 20 double crochets because you skipped one.
Row 3: When you have worked single crochets all the way to the other side, make a chain stitch (loop) and turn the project.
Row 4: Crochet a single crochet in each loop so that you crochet to the other side again. Then measure from the bottom edge of the wrist warmer up to the opening on the hand between thumb and palm and crochet single stitches to that point on the hand. In the pattern, 15 single stitches are crocheted and 5 left for the thumb.
Then you drop into the same stitch you just made a single crochet in, pull up a loop so you have two loops on the hook, catch the yarn and pull through both loops. After that, dip into the stitch you just made, pull up a loop so you have two loops on the hook. Catch the yarn again and pull through. Repeat until you have crocheted a chain that reaches halfway up the index finger (see picture 2). crochet one chain stitch and turn.
Rows 5 - 25 : Single crochet all the way down, crochet one chain stitch and turn the project. Repeat 20 times or until you have crocheted enough rounds to wrap the project around your hand. Note that you need to finish at the top of the hand warmer, so crochet an extra round if you need to.
Row 26 : Single crochet from the top of the wrist warmer down to the row where the thumb part splits on the other side of the project.
When you've worked single crochets to that point, drop into the same stitch you just made a single crochet in, pull up a loop so you have two loops on the hook, catch the yarn, pull through both loops. After that, dip into the stitch you just made, and pull up a loop so you have two loops on the hook. Catch the yarn again and pull through. Repeat until you have the same number of loops as the other part for the thumb, in our case 5.
Row 27: Make a chain stitch, turn the project and crochet all the way back to the top of the wrist warmer. Crochet a chain stitch, turn and crochet all the way down again and then up one last time. Now you can cut the yarn, tie a knot and attach the "tail" by weaving it between the stitches.
Sew the wrist warmer together
This step is the only thing that differentiates the right and left wrist warmers. So you crochet two identical ones and then sew them together in different ways so that they fit the right and left hand respectively.
We start with the left. Lay the project flat with the elastic closest to you and the rounded top of the wrist warmer furthest away. The thumb pointing down should be on the right side and the thumb pointing up should be on the left.
Then you fold the right part of the mitt so that it lies, edge to edge, on top of the left part. Fold the thumb that is pointing down, the one on the right side, so that it is on top of the mitt and points up. Then fold over the left thumb so that it is flush with the other. Sew the project together from the bottom edge up to the top, remembering to leave the thumb hole open. You can either use chain stitches along the edge to "stitch together" or use a large blunt sewing needle, thread and sew the wrist warmer together.
Now your wrist warmers are ready!
