✨ This pair of beaded cuffs will light up your Christmas and get you into the festive mood as you knit. Quick to make and a pleasure to wear, these cuffs are also a perfect last minute Christmas gift. Experiment with bead colours to get the desired amount of bling this winter.

✨ Christmas Lights Beaded Cuffs are knitted flat and sideways, with pre-strung beads of two colours incorporated into your knitting as you go. This project is all garter and has no purl stitches! Provisional cast on allows for grafting the first and last rows creating a seamless tube.

One size. The same knitting instruction for both hands.

One cuff measured flat before seaming is 4.7x6.3in / 12x16cm.

The pattern is both written and charted and suitable for all levels.

There are video tutorials to help you at all stages of the project, e.g. beaded provisional cast on, beaded knitting technique, grafting and finishing.
