WRISTLETS (make 2) First Motif (no joining) Round 1:With larger hook, chain 4 (beginning ch counts as dc); work 15 dc in 4th ch from hook; join with slip st in top of beginning ch—16 dc. Round 2: Ch 1, *sc in next st, ch 7 (corner), skip next st, sc in next st, ch 3, skip next st; repeat from * 3 more times; join with slip st in first sc—4 ch-7 spaces, and 4 ch-3 spaces. Fasten off. Second–Twentieth Motifs (joined on side(s) to neighboring motifs) Notes: Each arm warmer consists of 20 motifs, arranged and joined into 4 rings of 5 motifs each. Motifs are joined to neighboring motifs as Round 2 is worked. Join motifs 2 through 4 to one edge of the previous motif to form a strip of motifs. Then join the fifth motif along one edge of previous motif and one edge of the first motif to form a ring. Work the next rings of motifs in a similar manner joining edges of each motif to the previous motif and the edge of one motif on the previous ring. Continue until you have four rings of five motifs each. Refer to assembly diagram. Round 1: Work Round 1 of first motif. Determine placement and joining locations for neighboring motifs. Work Round 2 and join motif to corresponding ch-7 sps on neighboring motifs. Round 2 (joining round): Work as for Round 2 of first motif; join the edges of neighboring motifs, by joining two corner ch-7 spaces and the ch-3 space between the two corner ch-7 spaces as follows: Join neighboring ch-7 spaces: instead of working a ch-7, work ch 3, slip st in neighboring ch-7 space, ch 3. Join neighboring ch-3 spaces: instead of working a ch-7, work ch 1, slip st in neighboring ch-3 space, ch 1. Fasten off.

Rounds 2 and 3: Ch 3, *FPdc around next st, BPdc around next st; repeat from * to last st, FPdc around last st; join with slip st in top of beginning ch. Round 4: Slip st in each st around. Fasten off. Repeat for second arm warmer. Using yarn needle, weave in all ends.  |
