Shell edge hand warmers

[freckles896]

I made these as a birthday gift for my mom. I just made a simple wristwarmer pattern with stitches in BLO for 24 rows and after I joined it together, I did a round of sc around then a round of 2dc, sc on top and bottom. Thanks for looking.

Here is how I made these.

You start with a chain of however long you want them With a J hook. The ones in the picture, I did a beginning chain of 30.

Row 1: Sc in second ch from hook and in each across. Ch 1, turn.

Row 2-24: (In back loops only) sc across ch 1, turn. (number of rows can be adjusted up or down to fit around wrist/hand)

Join row 24 to beg. row by sc across first 4 sts, sl st across next 5 sts (only on one side to make thumb hole), sc across to end.

On top and bottom to make the shells, sl st to join, sc one round, join.

Ch 2, dc in same st, sc in next st. *2dc in next st, sc in next st, around. Join, fasten off.
