This is a pattern for Plus Size Arm Warmers. 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. :)

Camo Armwarmers Showcase
This young lady shows you her version of the arm warmers she made. Note she says they are a little tight at the top. This is because a thinner lady created the pattern for her arm. You can adjust any pattern by measuring your arms circumference and adding or subtracting rows to make it fit for you.
My Arm Warmers
I crocheted a pair of arm warmers back in the dizzay and thought I would show them off a bit.
Pre-Made Armwarmers
Mossimo Armwarmers just in case you just don't feel like making your own. Nice colors.
