All Grown Up Arm Warmers

Arm warmers are awesome! Whether knit or  crochet, they’re a great transition item for fall and spring, and a

fantastic layering piece all winter long. And they’re perfect for cold offices and classrooms. Earlier this year Idesigned both knit and crochet striped arm warmers for kids, but what about the grownups? A reader request

 prompted me into action, and a complete reworking of the pattern – this time for all the chilly adults. And now

you can make it a set, with the All Grown Up Striped Slouch Hat! 

All Grown Up Arm Warmers

Add this pattern to your Ravelry Queue  This pattern is offered in two sizes. The Small version is for people with forearms smaller than 12 inches aroundat the widest point, an inch or so before the elbow. The Large version is for people with forearms 12 inches or 

larger. If in doubt, I’d recommend going with the larger version for comfort. The differences in the pat tern are

noted as Small(Large). Where there are no differences, only one number is listed. Please also note that the step

by step pictures are from the child size pattern, so the number of stripes and stitch counts pictured are different,

but the techniques shown are the same. EDITED: 10/15/12 to fix errors in Rounds 9 and 12.
