Simple Knit Cuff Knitting PatternDesigned by Jenn Wisbeck - Midnightsky Fibers 5.5 inches long, 2.5 inches wide. This is a fairly small wrist size (I have tiny wrists!) Materials: 20 yards aran weight handspun or another interesting yarn Size 8 US (5 mm) needles Tapestry needle 1 inch button Needle and thread to secure button Gauge: 4 sts=1 inch in pattern Notes: Make longer by knitting more length before the decreases. To make wider add an extra stitch at beginning and end. Yarn: for the pattern to show up a fairly smooth yarn is best, thick and thin handspun yarns may not show the pattern very well. Be sure to use a yarn that you can wear next to the skin if you are going to wear this! Double Yarn Over- on the wrong side row knit in to the first YO and purl in to the second.
