Pattern Overview

For this design, I used Red Heart Bitty Stripes yarn in the colorways Crayon Box and Moonbeam, which add a playful yet soft gradient to the textured stitch pattern. Of course, you can easily substitute your favorite yarns to create a look that’s uniquely your own.

This quick and easy project can be completed on a weekend. The fingerless gloves are worked flat and joined after. This makes it easy to adjust the size to fit just right.

As part of the Frost Blossom collection, these wrist warmers coordinate beautifully with the matching accessories. Together, they create a cohesive and stylish set that’s perfect for gifting or building your own handmade winter wardrobe.

Helpful Tips for Beginners

✔Alternating Stitches

You’ll always be alternating single crochet and double crochet stitches throughout this pattern.

Here’s the simple rule of thumb:

• If the stitch below is a double crochet, work a single crochet into it.
• If the stitch below is a single crochet, work a double crochet into it.

This alternating pattern gives you the signature lemon peel-like texture.

✔ Use a Stitch Marker

Because this stitch uses alternating heights, the last stitch can blend in. Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of the row. This prevents accidental increases or decreases that throw off your count.

✔ Counting Made Easy

If you start with an odd number of chains, you’ll end up with an even number of stitches, which ensures the alternating pattern lands correctly on the next row.

✔ Make sure to watch the video tutorials to see how to crochet the lemon peel stitch and how to change yarn color. They are located after the written directions.

Crochet Stitches Used

Chain Stitch (CH ST)

Begin the chain stitch by making a slip knot on the crochet hook. Leave about a 5-inch tail on the yarn. This will be weaved in later.

Next snug up the yarn loop that is on the crochet hook; while it should be firm, it should also be loose enough to slide on the hook with ease.

Keeping the loop on the hook, insert the hook in the stitch, wrap the yarn over the crochet hook from back to front. Draw the yarn through the loop. (The first chain stitch is complete).

Double Crochet (DC)

Yarn over, insert the hook through both loops and pull up a loop. Next, yarn over and pull through two loops on the hook. Lastly, yarn over again and pull through the last two loops on the hook.

Begin Crochet Pattern

Make 2 of the wrist warmers.

Chain any odd number of chain stitches.

Crochet a Foundation Row

Starting with yarn color A

Begin the chain stitch by making a slip knot on the crochet hook.

• Small = CH 25
• Medium = CH 27 (shown)
• Large = CH 27
• X-Large = CH 31

Row 1

SC in 2nd CH from the hook. DC in next CH. [SC in the next ST, DC in the next ST].  Repeat across between [ ]. End with a DC in the last St.  Turn (You’ll have an even number of stitches.)

Do not cut your yarn. Add a stitch marker.

Row 2

Change to yarn color B. Pull the new yarn color through the loop on the hook and snug up yarn color A. Continue with the pattern using yarn color B.

CH 1 (Turning Chain Doesn’t Count as a Stitch). SC in the first DC ST, DC in the SC ST. [SC in the next ST, DC in the next ST]. Repeat across between [ ]. End with a DC in the last St. 

Add a stitch marker.

Row 3

Change back to yarn color A

Now you’ll see the unused color strand (Color A) waiting at the other end.
To reuse it.

• Insert your hook into the first stitch.
• Gently pull up Color A and yarn over with it to start the row.

The unused yarn will be carried neatly up the side.

CH 1 (Doesn’t Count as a ST). DC in the first SC ST, SC in the DC ST. [DC in the next ST, SC in the next ST]. Repeat across between [ ]. End with a SC in the last St.  Turn

Row 4

Change back to yarn color B

CH 1 (Doesn’t Count as a ST). DC in the first SC ST, SC in the DC ST. [DC in the next ST, SC in the next ST]. Repeat across between [ ]. End with a SC in the last St.  No Turn

Row 5

Change back to yarn color A

CH 1 (Doesn’t Count as a ST). SC in the first DC ST, DC in the SC ST. [SC in the next ST, DC in the next ST]. Repeat across between [ ]. End with a DC in the last St.  Turn

Row 6

Change back to yarn color B

CH 1 (Doesn’t Count as a ST). SC in the first DC ST, DC in the SC ST. [SC in the next ST, DC in the next ST]. Repeat across between [ ]. End with a DC in the last St.  No Turn

Rows 7 and beyond

Continue repeating rows 3-6 until desired length.

• Small = 19 rows
• Medium = 19 rows (shown)
• Large = 21 rows
• X-Large = 21 rows

Once you reach your desired length, leave about a 20-inch-long yarn tail.

Use this to join the ends together and create the thumb hole.

Joining

You can use any method to join the ends, such as a slip stitch, single crochet through both edges, or sewing with a yarn needle.

I chose to use a whip stitch for a simple and secure seam.

• Whipstitch. Insert the needle from back to front, wrapping the yarn around the edges in a spiral motion.
• Mattress Stitch. Work through the middle of the stitches on the edges of both pieces, creating an almost invisible seam.

Keep the Tension Even. As you sew, ensure the yarn is snug but not so tight that it puckers or distorts the fabric.

Fold your piece in half lengthwise, matching the edges.

Sew the two sides together with the yarn needle, leaving a hole for your thumb.

Optional. Use stitch markers to mark the start of the thumb hole, about 2 inches from the top. Skip about 1 ½ inches from the 2-inch mark and place another stitch marker.

When making the hole for the thumb, stitch on one side only so you don’t have to cut the yarn.

Finishing

Once you’ve sewn all the ends together, weave in any remaining yarn tails with the yarn needle. Snip off the excess yarn.

Repeat the pattern to make the second wrist warmer
