Luscious Long Wristers

Sometimes the only accessory you need are these Luscious Long Wristers. Like a fingerless gloves pattern, these crochet wrist warmers go all the way to your elbow and serve as makeshift long sleeves. It may be too cold for short sleeves but too hot for long sleeves, which makes these wrist warmers the best way to add to your wardrobe for the day. The weather can be crazy at times, so you might just want to keep them on hand just in case you need an added layer, too.

The pattern for this handy accessory can be found here at the Red Heart Yarn website http//www.redheart.com/free-patterns/wavy-long-wri == sters Its available as a free download, too. Since its worked in Bulky yarn, it wont take long to complete this useful project. While youre at the Red Heart site, look at some of the other wristers and fingerless gloves by this and other designers. Some very clever projects!

I love the fact that these gloves are easy to make. Where I live, in South Dakota, these arm warmers will always come into use. I am thinking of making different colors and sizes and selling them. These will definitely be easy to sell because they are so stylish and can make them in a short amount of time.
