When I was young I dreamed of being a dancer. And like so many little girls, I wanted to be a graceful ballerina. However, I got to take piano lessons instead. I still longed for dancing…

Nowadays, I am taking ballroom dance lessons but there is still a part of me that longs to be that graceful ballerina. That is why when I saw Colorful Eclectic’s colorway {Keep Calm and Be a Ballerina} I knew I had to create some beautiful accessories with this gorgeous yarn!

These cuffs are designed to keep a ballerina’s, or a wishful ballerina’s, arms and hands warm while not encumbering hands and fingers. One of the neat things about this design is it is totally reversible so you can wear it which ever way you like it best!

Finished Size:
1 skein of Colorful Eclectic’s Delight DK made two cuffs approximately 3 3/4” x 9” each measured flat, unblocked and unstretched. These cuffs are very stretchy!

Gauge: 24 sts x 36 rows = 4” x 4” (10 cm) in 2 x 1 rib unblocked and unstretched.
Note: You have some wiggle room with gauge. However, you may wish to weigh your skein periodically as you knit your first cuff so you do not use over 50% of your yarn.

Materials Needed/Used
Needles: Size US 4 (3.5 mm) circular needle or size needed to obtain gauge.
Yarn: Colorful Eclectic Delight DK (DK weight 246 yards/224.94 meters per 100 g skein). Color used for the cuffs shown is {Keep Calm and Be a Ballerina}.
Notions: Locking stitch markers. Darning needle.

These cuffs are very stretchy and if you are knitting them for someone small you may wish to work them with a sport weight yarn. You many need to increase the number of pattern repeats if you do.
