Design Notes:
Important note: This is a very verbose pattern. This is deliberate because I want the crocheter to understand the construction of the piece. The intention, ultimately, is get the crocheter more used to improvising crochet patterns, one of the first steps to designing your own crochet patterns.

The wrist warmer is worked in rows along the length using Baby Camel Yarn and larger hook, working vertically in rows until you reach the desired circumference. Start with a longer chain if you want a longer wrist warmer.

The wrist warmer is a simple mesh of double crochet stitches separated by a single chain space. The upper edge of the wrist warmer has rows of 2 double crochet stitches next to each other (the second double crochet is where the lacy silk-camel edging is worked into) while the lower edge of the neck warmer has the double crochet and chain space. So you must end the row on the side where you can continue working along the lower edge of the piece. Then a scallop edge is worked all along the lower edge of the wrist warmer.

The lacy edging is worked in Silky Camel Lace Yarn in two strands held together using smaller hook. The lace edging is done in 3 rows, started by joining the yarn with sc around the stem (or post) of the second double crochet along the upper edge of the neck warmer, right side facing.

The leaves are crocheted separately then sewn onto the mesh. Then the seams of the wrist warmers are sewn together. No buttons or ties. Baby Camel yarn worked in this pattern stretches only a bit so measure your size accordingly.
