Pattern description from Interweave Knits, Winter 2004: “Knitted cuffs and a nordic tradition that represent warmth and luxury. This pair makes a great introduction to color work and buttonhole-making for adventurous beginners, and a satisfying small project for advanced knitters. The color work section is worked in the round, so the right side is always facing. The work is then cut open (after being secured with machine stay-stitching), the raw edges are finished with velvet ribbon, and the cuffs are fastened with tiny silver buttons.”

Finished Size: About 8.5” (21.5 cm) wide and 3.25” (8.5 cm) high after cutting and finishing; buttoned circumference is about 8” (20.5 cm).

Notions: Marker (m); tapestry needle; sewing machine; scissors; sharp-pointed sewing needle and thread to match MC; 18” (45.5 cm) 5.8” (1.5 cm) -wide velvet ribbon; six 3/8” (1-cm) buttons.
