Introduction
This past January I shared the pattern for the Sweet Striped Arm Warmers
– a fun knit pattern for kids. It’s popsicle season now, but cold
weather is coming… eventually… and I’ve had a few requests to translate
this pattern to crochet. So let’s get a jump on fall, with a project
that will keep the kids warm once the cold weather hits – but is small
enough to keep you cool while you work on it!
Materials List
- US-I, 5.5mm hook
- Worsted weight yarn, approximately 175 yards each of two colors (Caron Simply Soft in Limelight and Grape shown)
Finished Size
Child to Teen
Notes
These arm warmers were designed for tweens and young teens, but it’s
easy to size these for a younger child: skip the last two stripes and
go straight to the cuff! In other words, after finishing the 7th stripe,
switch to color A, work 27 bpsc, and work rows 1-28 of the ribbed cuff
pattern.
Special Stitches:
bpsc - back post single crochet
bpdc - back post double crochet
blo - back loop only
