Crochet Cable Warmers – free pattern

I thought it would be interesting to hit off the new year with a free pattern, so if you like wearing warmers, this might be the project for you.

Supplies:

*50gr of DK yarn of your choice (I used Papatya Batik) and a 5mm hook;

* tapestry needle

Stitches: chain (ch), slip stitch (sl st), skip (sk), double crochet (dc), front post double crochet (FPdc), back post double crochet (BPdc), {crossed} front post treble (FPtr), {crossed} back post treble (BPtr)

Measurements of finished warmers: 10cm in width and 13.5 cm in length

Pattern:

Foundation and row 1: Ch26 and starting from 4th ch from hook, dc1 in all (24). Ch3 and turn work. We count this as the 1st dc. There are a total of 24 sts in every row.

Row 2: starting from 2nd st from hook, dc1 in all (24). Ch3 and turn work.

Row 3: starting from the 2nd st, dc1 in next 10 st (with the first 3ch – it’s 11 sts), FPdc1 in next 4 sts., dc1 in rest 11 sts. Ch3 and turn work.

Row 4: starting from the 2nd st, dc1 in next 10 sts (a total of 11), sk2, make a BPtr in the 3rd st, make another BPtr in the 4th, next go back a st and BPtr1 (in the 2nd st you skipped) and again BPtr1 in the 1st st you skipped. This will create a kind of flap, which is actually the shaping of the cable. Next, dc1 in next 11 sts. Ch3 and turn work.

Row 5: starting from the 2nd st, dc1 in next 10 sts., FPdc1 in next 4 sts., dc1 in rest 11 sts. Ch3 and turn work.

Row 6: starting from the 2nd st, dc1 in next 10 sts., BPdc1 in next 4 sts., dc1 in rest 11 sts. Ch3 and turn work.

Row 7: starting from the 2nd st, dc1 in next 10 sts (a total of 11), sk2, make a FPtr in the 3rd st, make another FPtr in the 4th, next go back a st and FPtr1 (in the 2nd st you skipped) and again FPtr1 in the 1st st you skipped. Next, dc1 in next 11 sts. Ch3 and turn work.

Row 8: repeat row 6

Row 9: repeat row 3

Row 10: repeat row 4

Row 11: dc1 in all (24)
