Free Step by Step Crochet Pattern for Arm Warmers
This is a pattern for Arm Warmers. [I originally made these for my plus size arms but you can really make these for any size arms.]
There are a lot of arm warmer - wrist warmer patterns out there and most are made for thin long arms. My chubby arms and wrists are large and get larger as they go up toward the elbow.
I came up with this pattern for myself but thought others might want to have a simple arm warmer pattern that they can tweak to fit their unique arms. :)

Step 3: Sewing it Up

reverse single crochet in each stitch around. Finish off

Pre-Made Armwarmers
Just in case you don't want to make your own
Sometimes you just aren't in the mood to crochet - that's okay because our friends over on Amazon.com have a great selection of long arm warmers and short wrist warmers. I think the wrist warmers with the cute little cupcake is the best.
