Free-crochet Thermal Cuff

Free-crochet Thermal Cuff

A friend of mine, Rowean, wanted to make one of these after seeing mine on Facebook. I said I'd give her the pattern as soon as I found my notes.
Problem...
It's kind of hard to give the exact pattern for this thermal cup cuff. I must admit to not really keeping any notes, which I'm sure isn't going to impress anyone over much. Sorry about that.  Here they are as best I can remember them.

Equipment/Supplies

Yarn: Worsted weight, wool & acrylic blend.
Length: Part of the end of a skein (really not very mush at all).
Hook: 3 mm steel hook
Tapestry needle
Scissors
An empty paper coffee cup (medium size) to check measurements on ... repeatedly!

Terms

Ch/ch = chain stitch
Hd/hd = half-double crochet stitch
Sl/sl = slip stitch
St/st = stitch

Rough Pattern

Ch 30, slip in first ch to form a round.

1. Ch 2 (tightly), 1 hd in each stitch around, sl in top of ch-2 to join.
2. Ch 2, hd 1/4 of the way around, hd twice in same stitch, 1 hd in each stitch to roughly 3/4 of the way around, 2 hd in one stitch, 1 hd in each stitch to end, sl in ch-2 to join.

Repeat rows 1 and 2 until desired length is achieved. Increase by making 2 hd in a stitch as necessary.Weave ends in. I'n willing to bet that there are dozens, if not hundreds, of ways to personalize this; lace, embroidery or those little metal charms come to mind.

I think I'll leave mine as is since they are so easy to make. If I had to grade this for difficulty I'd put it as a late beginner project. It also works up in maybe a couple of hours, so you can pick it up and put it down and still get it done.
Happy Hooking! :D
