I used 2 strands held together for the foundation/body of the cuff. I combined two colors for the main band and used one of the colors (I chose white) for the edging. It requires only 1 skein each of the two colors.

I think this pattern would be beautiful in a combination of black and jewel tones for a more steampunk or gothic look as well!

It also requires 6 shank type buttons. I used the pearl look for the sample but if worked in other colors the button selection is up to you!
