How is everyone doing on your resolutions? I hope you’re still at it. My main goal this year is to be more organized and use my time more wisely. I am feeling like I am doing much better. The internet seems to be a black hole that sucks up all my free time, so I have been trying to steer clear of time wasters, and focus on being productive when I have some extra time. I have also been trying to do more brainstorming which can be an exercise in frustration, and definitely takes practice to be productive. The idea for these Starburst Granny Square Arm Warmers came to me over Christmas, but it took a bit of time to perfect them and get them blog-ready. I am so excited that I finished and I can finally share them with you!

Granny Square (make 6)

Start with a magic ring. Ch does NOT count. 
1. Ch 1. Hdc 8 in the ring. Join with sl st using second color. (This keeps the joins looking nicer)
2. Ch 1. Sc in same st. *Ch 4. Sl st into 2nd ch from hook. Sc in next ch. Hdc in last ch. Sc in next st on the circle. * work 8 times. Join with sl st using 3rd color. 
3. Ch 2. Dc 2 in same st. Sc at the top of next spike. *Tc 2, ch 1, tc 2 – all in the middle bottom after spike. Sc at top of next spike. Dc 2 at the bottom of next spike* work three time. Tc 2, ch 1, tc 2 – all in the middle bottom of next spike. Sc at the tope of last spike. Join with sl st using 2nd color. 
4. Ch 1. Hdc in same st. Hdc 4. Hdc 3 in ch-1 space in corner. *Hdc 8. Hdc 3 in corner ch 1 space.* work 3 times. Hdc 3. Join with sl st. Tie off. 
Weave in your ends before starting the construction. 

Sew the squares together by laying one on top the other, right sides touching. Start in middle hdc in corner and sc 12 through Back Loops Only (BLO) to the other corner. Repeat with other square, so the three are sewn together. 

Lay piece flat and start at the top right with the right sides facing you. Join at the middle hdc in corner. 

1. Ch 1. Hdc in same st. Hdc in each st across, until you reach the middle hdc in corner of the last square (don’t work in the space where you sewed them together). Turn. 
2. For LEFT arm warmer: 
Ch 1. Hdc in same st. Hdc 3. Ch 5. Sk 5 sts. Hdc in next st. Hdc in each remaining stitch. 
For RIGHT arm warmer:
Ch 1. Hdc in same st. Hdc across, leaving 9 sts unworked. Ch 5, sk 5 sts. Hdc in next st. Hdc in last 3 sts. Turn. 
3. – 9. Ch 1. Hdc in same st. Hdc in each st across. Turn. 
Once you have worked nine rows, or 2 more sts in the last st (making 3 total). Turn your piece 90* clockwise. Work a row of sc across the top. Sc 3 in next corner. Continue around your piece, working sc down the side and across the bottom. 

Fold the arm warmer in half lengthwise, and sl st up the side, closing it. Weave in your ends.

Note: to size up these arm warmers, work extra rounds around the granny squares before construction, this ensures the square will always be in the exact middle, instead of on the side.

These are so lovely, I gave a pair to my mom for Christmas and she loved them! I also made myself a pair, and I love wearing them while I crochet, or work on my computer.
