X-posted wristwarmers/fingerless gloves ?'s

[tairae.livejournal.com]

All right, so my little sister (18, really my boy's sister, but still) is getting a crocheted-by-me set of wristwarmers for christmas. I am making them go almost to the elbow. Now, seeing as how my arms, and I am thinking the arms of most people, get smaller the closer you get to the wrist, should I fit the wrist warmers to decrese in size as well? Does that make sense? Hrm, I hope so. Basically, should I decrease a little bit as I get closer towards the wrist part? Also...I was hoping to crochet in a little kittie pattern onto it, but I am not sure I could just do it off the top of my head (it's almost like drawing, something I can not do for the life of me!). Does anyone have any cat patterns for crochet? Thanks again everyone...Tai
