Puff Cuffs

There’s something satisfying about knitting useful accessories. Designed for a skein of DK weight yarn, PUFF CUFFS highlight a special skein of yarn and provide cozy warmth for your wrists. Cuffs are intended to have a slightly slouchy fit. Use the optional thumbhole to style them as fingerless mitts or style them as simple tubes. This design offers a great opportunity to practice a tubular cast-on and bind-off for smooth and stretchy edges.

This pattern is worked in the round and flat (to form the thumbhole). The design works equally well with commercially available or handspun DK weight yarn in your favorite solid, tonal, or variegated colorway. With 2 length options and 4 sizes, you’re sure to find your perfect fit.
