A perfect combination of elegance and warmth this pair of mauči (Latvian beaded cuffs) will add just the right amount of sparkle to your evening outfits this festive season. Slightly elongated, with a small slit to show the back of your hand these cuffs were inspired by Audrey Hepburn’s iconic image in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The cuffs are made from super soft baby alpaca yarn and lavishly decorated with gold and silver beads. Wear them to the theatre, opera or parties and notice how the magic beads turn heads in your direction.

The cuffs are easy to make as they are knit entirely in garter stitch. You will need to string the beads onto your yarn before you start knitting and you are good to go.

The pattern includes both chart and written instructions.
