Excerpt Cuffs
This is a sample of my current self-published pattern style (both the format and the level of detail provided).
It’s also a quick practice piece for my paid Lapham Cowl pattern, for those who might like to try stranded colorwork in the round with slightly larger yarn and needles. The cuffs’ motif is excerpted from the full pattern.
Skills Needed / Notes:
Cast on, join and work in the round, knit, purl, change needles between rounds, knit alternating between two balls of yarn, read a basic colorwork chart, and bind off.
- The motif section of the pattern is charted only.
- The strands not in use (floats) do not need to be caught.
- Estimated level: Adventurous Beginner.
Finished Dimensions and Sizes:
7-1/4 in x 3-5/8 in (18.5 cm x 9.25 cm), after blocking.
To fit wrist circumferences of 6-1/4 - 7-1/2 in (15.75-19 cm).
Yarn:
Sample shown in O-Wool’s O-Wash Sport mini-skein (100% machine-washable certified organic merino, approx. 61 yd / 20 g), two mini-skeins in contrasting colors.
Dark blue sample shown in Night Heron (MC) and Springhouse (CC). MC requires about 18 yd (17 m), CC about 13 yd (12m).
The two mini-skeins were enough to make two pairs of cuffs, reversing the main color and the contrasting color.
Non-superwash yarn alternatives include Quince & Co. ‘Chickadee’ and Knit Picks ‘Wool of the Andes Sport.’
Needles and Notions:
- Circular knitting needles US sizes 1.5 (2.5 mm) and 3 (3.25 mm), 9” long, or sizes to obtain given gauge. (A US 1 (2.25 mm) needle may be substituted for the 1.5.)
- Tapestry needle.
- Stitch markers (optional).
Gauge:
Over colorwork pattern, knit in the round with size 3 (3.25 mm) circular needle: 29 stitches and 32 rounds = 4 in, after blocking. Please take time to save time and check your gauge.
Other Notes:
This pattern has been reviewed by experienced knitters, but has not been test knit or professionally tech edited. If you think you’ve found a mistake, I’d appreciate it if you’d let me know.
For help with this pattern, please see the links in the pattern, or ask on any knitting forum. (The Patterns and the Techniques boards here on Ravelry are great resources.) Thanks!
