Fasten off green yarn. Weave in ends. Use crochet hook and tail of red or white yarn to sew across double crochet striped section of hand warmer, leaving 2-3 rows unsewn. Fasten off. Weave in ends. Sew up the single crochet section of hand warmer in the same manner. Fasten off. Weave in all ends. Turn hand warmer inside out.

Before decorating, make sure one glove is facing up and the other down (so you have thumb holes facing each other...a pair of warmers), then proceed.

Using red yarn, chain 2. sc into second chain from hook. Chain 1, turn. 2 sc into sc, chain 1, turn. sc into first sc, 2 sc in next sc. Chain 1, turn. 2 sc into first sc, sc into next two sc.

Festive Crochet Handwarmers for Beginners!

Hi, guys! Here is the pattern that goes along with my video tutorial on making simple fingerless gloves or hand warmers. These can be made in any color or design, they absolutely do not have to be adorable snowmen!! Just follow the basic rounds 1-16, in any color. Omit the scarf and face. Good to go! If you want to make them for a child, begin with a chain of 24 or 25, then make 23 or 24 sc across. Follow the pattern, but with 23 or 24 sc.

I created this pattern from scratch to be very simple. Please link back to this post for credit. Thank you!!

Row 6: sc in first sc, and in next 24 sc. In last sc, switch to white yarn in completing sc stitch.

Been a long time!!

Hello, everyone!
It has been so long, and I am so very sorry that I haven't kept up on my blog. Mainly because so many of my posts had to do with my old channel, that it depressed me to look at it! However, I have begun anew on YouTube, and the new channel is: www.youtube.com/VianneyRecreates

I have lots of old videos on there, and of course, new content being added almost daily! Please visit me there, and subscribe to the new channel! I would really appreciate it, and look forward to hearing from you all!
