Free Crochet Pattern :: Organic Cotton Arm Warmers

This weekend I wanted to whip up a quick crochet project using my *favorite* yarn and I've been needing a new pair of  long arm warmers to wear with shorter sleeves or to layer under jackets.  These arm warmers reach up to my elbows and are a really fast project because the bulky yarn works them up in no time!  

I used two skeins (100 grams each) of Sprout organic cotton yarn in color 4350 and a  size J/6.0 mm crochet hook.  I love Sprout yarn but you can substitute another bulky weight yarn if you prefer.

Here are the simple steps!

Chain 35.  Work in Double Crochet for 12 rows to make a rectangle.  Knot off your yarn and weave in both loose ends.  Your work will look like this (except my ends haven't been woven in yet!):

Join your yarn on one of the short ends and work one row of single crochet.  Repeat on the second short end.  This just gives each end a smoother, more finished look.

Fold the rectangle in half lengthwise and use single crochet or yarn on a tapestry needle to sew up the long side.  You now have a long tube and that is your arm warmer!  Repeat all of these steps for the second arm warmer.

These would also make really easy last-minute holiday gifts!
