These cuffs will make fabulous presents, with an eye catching design. A very quick knit, using very little yarn, a lovely fashion accessory.

Two colourways for you to choose from

The pattern has 2 charts Purple and Red

Size

To fit wrist circumference 6.5”/7.5” (16 /19cm)

I added beads to both pairs (optional)

The colour work looks more complex than it actually is, employing only a few colours, and never more than two in any round, ideal for those new to Fair Isle knitting and interesting enough for more experienced knitters. Half the fun is trying out different colourways and these little cuffs are the perfect project for this.
