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!!

Snowman Handwarmers (teen/adult size)

*Worsted weight yarn in black, white, red (or whatever color you want snowman's scarf)

*Size H (5 mm) crochet hook

*felt pieces

*tapestry needle and scissors

Handwarmer (make 2):

Row 1: Chain 27 in black yarn. Single crochet (sc) in second chain from hook, and across.
             Chain 1, turn. (26 sc)

Row 2 - 5: sc in first sc, and in each sc across. Chain 1, turn. (26 sc)

Row 6: sc in first sc, and in next 24 sc. In last sc, switch to white yarn in completing sc stitch.
             Chain two, turn. Leave a long tail of black yarn for sewing hem and fastening off, about
             12 inches. DO NOT FASTEN OFF YET. (26 sc)

Row 7: Double crochet (dc) in first sc, and in each sc across. Chain 2, turn. (26 dc)

Row 8 - 16: dc in first dc, and in each dc across. Chain 2, turn. (26 dc) DO NOT FASTEN OFF!

To finish: Leaving yarn attached, fold work in half with right sides touching. Use crochet hook to sew across white section of hand warmer leaving last two rows unsewn, as shown in video or using your favorite method. This will create the thumb hole. Fasten off white yarn. Weave in ends. Use crochet hook and tail of black yarn to sew across black section of hand warmer. Fasten off. Weave in ends. Turn hand warmer inside out.

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

Scarf (make 2):
Chain 72 in red yarn (or whatever color you prefer). dc in third chain from hook, and across the chain (70 dc). Fasten off. Weave in ends. Tie scarf around bottom section of hand warmer, and use coordinating thread to fasten it to glove, if desired.

Use whatever felt colors you like to cut out eyes, nose, mouth, buttons (whatever you like). Adhere to hand warmers with hot glue, fabric glue, or sew on.
