Pattern: Simple Crochet Armwarmers

What you will need:

• Size I/9-5.50mm crochet hook
• worsted weight yarn
• tapestry needle

What you need to know:

• HDC- Half Double Crochet
• SS- Slip Stitch
• BLO- Back loop only

Instructions:

>>Chain 31.

>>Starting with the 2nd chain from your hook loop, HDC in each chain stitch until you reach the end of the chain. (30 HDC total per row)

>>Chain 1 & turn your work.

**You will be working in the back loops the entire project from this point.

>>Working in the back loops only [BLO], continue to work 3 more rows. (4 rows total, 30HDC per row) 

>>Chain 1 at the start of your 5th row. HDC in the next 20 stitches. Chain 4.

>>Skip the next 4 stitches. HDC in 5th stitch. [pictured below] & finish crocheting your row.

>>Continue working 11  more rows of HDC in BLO until you have a total of 16 rows. 

>>Fold your work in half to line up your last crochet row with your foundation chain. 

**This is where we will seam the gloves together with a Slip Stitch. 

>>Insert hook into first foundation chain & through the back loop of the first crochet & secure together with a slip stitch.

(Its kind of difficult to see, but that is the first slip stitch of this seam)

>>Continue to seam this together with a slip stitch all the way to the end of the row. Fasten with a chain stitch.

(This seam is nearly invisible on this side, but when you turn it inside out, you can't even tell it's there!)

>>Cut your yarn and sew in your tails with the tapestry needle. Turn inside out so that seam is on the inside of the armwarmer.

>>Try it on!

(Repeat for matching arm warmer)

Once you get the hang of this pattern it is so easy. It's simple & easy to remember. You can do all kinds of extras to spice these up like a border or lace around the edges or maybe even add some stripes!
