I made these pretty recently. I wasn't really a fan of the little bobbles on the hands, so I just left those out. I'm not really sure if this is what you were looking for (they're more wrist warmers than arm warmers, and they go over your hands).  When I made them, I also extended the first ch16 to a little more than that (I honestly can't remember how much more, but it doesn't really matter--it's whatever you want) so that they went a little further up my arm.  This pattern gives youa pretty nice basic idea to start from, though. If you don't like it going all the way up your hand, stop when you get to where it hooks over your thumb. Basically, play with it till you get what you want. It's not too difficult of a pattern.

A warning for the pattern: if you're like me, and you have really small hands, you might have to adjust it a little so that it's the right size. Try it on as you're doing it, or even just look at it and guess. Keep in mind that the yarn's gonna stretch a bit too as you wear it. :)

Hopefully that helps.

Heya - ooh resurrection!
If you need help converting USA to UK terminology, here's a little hint i figured out:
USA name their stitches by number of times you yoh (yarn over hook) and pull through at the end.
eg. In a Double Crochet (dc) you yoh and pull through 2 loops twice = double
 then single is once and so on.
UK name their stitches by the number of loops on the hook before you yoh and pull though.
eg. In a Treble (tr) there are 3 loops on the hook, Double Crochet (dc) theres 2 etc.

Once you figure this out, its not too hard to get yourself in the right frame of mind for the patter. Just make sure
you figure out where the pattern was published BEFORE you start, otherwise things can get a bit messy. :-)
