A band of exquisite fashion design! The cuff is a rib stitch pattern with bead embellishments. Beads are threaded on the yarn then knit in according to the pattern.
The rib patterns allows the cuff elasticity to move over the hand and sit comfortably on the wrist. Many a cuff have been made for friends and they exclaim how it keeps their hands warm. Using a wool blend will keep the elasticity and a simple hand wash, air dry will keep them in shape. Size 4, 5 or 6 beads can be used depending on the yarn selected. I like the mohair blend because it give the final cuff a fluffy halo appearance. Enjoy!

5 kits are available - butterscotch mohair wool, olive green alpaca/wool and sapphire blue mohair wool with beads that complement the colour. knittingkits.ca
