Yarn: Leftover scraps of any 4ply yarn Tools: 2.5mm knitting needles 2.25 crochet hook Yarn needle Embroidery needle Notions: 2 small buttons Sewing thread This pattern includes three different cuff patterns: ‘Checkerboard'.‘Snakes & Ladders', and ‘Go Fish!'. Each uses different techniques and are ideal for practicing new stitches and combinations. And, like all small, quick knits, they're also ideal for last minute presents! The yarn you use depends entirely on the look you want your cuffs to have. Silk blends - like the Grignasco Champagne used in the sample - give a sleek, defined look, while the softer yarns like merino will convey a cuter look. Gauge is unimportant, so long as you're achieving the look and feel that you want. All text and images @ Rosalind Craft Supplies, 2013
