Inspired by the first flower of spring, the crocus, these wristlets are a light and colorful antidote to a harsh
winter. The lace pattern provides breathable warmth,
ideal for unpredictable spring weather. An optional beaded
ruffle adds a “flight of fancy” to the wristlets.

A matching hat pattern is available (Hocus Crocus Beanie). Pattern is also available in Worsted weight. Only one skein of each will make both the wristlets and beanie.

These wristlets are worked in the round starting at the cuff.
The patterns provides charts as well as written instructions for the lace patterns.
