I was inspired by the Gulf Shores Hat by Melissa Rotert and decided to make matching wrist warmers.

The PDF includes two nearly identical patterns. The first is for the shorter and a thick worsted weight (pictured is Loops & Threads Impeccable Ombre in Seaside) version (30 sts x 12 rows). The second is for a light DK weight yarn (pictured is Patons Silk Bamboo in Almond) using a smaller hook and additional stitches around (36 sts x 16 rows).

Additionally, you can easily change the length of either of these patterns by adding dc rows at the bottom for a wider cuff and/or additional Fan rows at the top (after row 12/16) or before the increase rows for the thumb (before row 7). I crochet fairly loose but if you need a larger or smaller size simply add or subtract 6 sts to the initial ch (6 sts per fan) or use a larger/smaller hook. Also, I like to do my foundation chain with a hook one size up than the rest of the pattern to add stretchyness to the bottom.

Feel free to use and modify this pattern as you choose or sell your creations made from this pattern as long as you give me credit as the designer.
