Need a last-minute handmade stocking filler? Set aside a couple of hours this weekend and you could be wrapping a pair of crochet wrist warmers for someone to snuggle their paws into. These crochet wrist warmers by Hannah Cross of HanJan Crochet come with pretty bows to top them off – so kawaii. They'd make fab gifts but more importantly, they keep your fingers free allowing you and your pals to keep crocheting even in the freezing temperatures! You could even crochet yourself a matching crochet bobble hat and crochet scarf. If you’re making these crochet wristwarmers for someone who wants a more pared-down design, simply fasten off and weave in the ends before you reach the scalloped trim part of the pattern.

Crochet newbies don't worry! Although Hannah's crochet wristwarmers are a more complex pattern you can still make them using our other resources. Head over to our crochet for beginners guide and our crochet kits for beginners to learn all the basic techniques for this crochet wristwarmers pattern.
