As a knitter and a designer, I find that I spend a lot of time swatching. Swatching to learn new techniques, to try new stitch patterns, to see what gauge I get. These little cuffs are the perfect place to swatch Roositud Inlay stitches and end up with a useful item, rather than just one more swatch floating around the house.
Worked in the round, using up small bits and bobs of leftover sock yarn, they also make great “stash busters”.
