The Point About Cuffs
Pattern description from Lace Style: “For centuries, a white lace blouse has been a wardrobe staple, but when that blouse is covered with a jacket, all that shows are the cuffs. With this notion in mind, Vicki Square designed a pair of mohair cuffs that can be worn with any garment. The cuffs are worked in the round from the pointy edge of the lace to the snug rib that fits around the wrist. The lace portion is a simple six-stitch pattern that repeats every two rows. And every other row is knitted plain. Tuck these cuffs under the sleeves of a blazer or dress for a lacy layered look.”
Finished Size: About 6” (15 cm) wrist circumference and 8” (20.5 cm) long. Ribbing at wrist will stretch to about 8” (20.5 cm) circumference.
Yarn: Sportweight (CYCA #2 Fine).
Filatura Di Crosa Baby Kid Extra (80% mohair kid, 20% nylo; 268 yd (245 m)/25 g): #310 ivory, 1 ball.
Needles: Size 6 (4 mm): set of 4 or 5 double-pointed (dpn). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Notions: Tapestry needle.
