Sakura sleeves

Sakura Sleeves are a pair of wrist warmers that can double for a warm decorative sleeve or a kind of cuff. Perfect for

cold days in the office and can easily be styled under a button down shirt or other blouses and shirts.

They are knit on doublepointed needles or a circular needle using the magic loop technique with a small rib followed by

the Sakura Pattern and finished with a wavy lace edge.

Size

After washing and blocking: 8.5 cm (meaning 17 in circumference laying flat) x 16.5 cm in length

Adjusting the size

If you want your sleeves bigger in circumference then increase needle size by 0.5 - 1 mm. You

can easily add another yarn strand if you want the stitches to be a tighter knit. For this I

recommend Cashmere Lace from Gepard or a Baby Alpaca lace for example Piura from Lamana
