Terms used in this pattern.

SC = Single Crochet into the middle stitch of the previous rounds Shell

DC = Double Crochet

SL ST = Slip Stitch

SK x = Skip x Stitches

Ch = Chain

Shell 5 = 5 DC in the previous rounds SC

Shell 3 = 3 DC in the previous rounds SC

Inc shell = 7 DC in the previous rounds SC

Notes

The start of each round is made in the last SC of the previous round.

The first Shell of each round will start with a chain 3 and then 4DC for Shell 5/2DC for Shell 3.

Rounds in bold have multiple rounds.

These wrist warmers are made from the wrist down to your fingers. To make them longer so more of your arm is covered just do more of the Shell 5 rounds before moving on to wrist shaping.

If you like a baggy wrist skip the Shell 3 shaping rounds and just do more Shell 5 rounds.

I use a chainless foundation start if you want to start with a chain instead add one extra stitch for a turning chain" join to work in the round and then do a SC round before starting the Shell 5 rounds.
