Finished Projects

One of the knitters made this great wrist cuff! She cast on about 10 stitches and knit until it fit around her wrist. Then she bound off the stitches and knit the two ends together. Looks great! (And it's soft.)

One of the knitters made a fingerless mitten. It looks great!

One of the knitters made this phone cozy. He plans to add a button so he can close the flap. Cool!

Wrist Cuffs

Thank you to one of our knitters for coming up with a great idea! She made herself a wrist cuff out of some interesting yarn. It reminded me of this cuff I made a few years ago. There are lots of ways to make these cuffs, and with some cool yarn, interesting knit/purl stitches (like swirls or checkerboard), or sewing on buttons or appliques, the cuffs can get pretty amazing! (We could even practice doing cables!)

Check the posts labeled "Technique" to see how to videos.

Simplest wrist cuff:

Cast on 6 - 12 stitches (it depends on how wide you want the cuff)
Knit every row until it reaches around your wrist.
Bind off and sew the ends together.

Seed Stitch Wrist Cuff (as in the picture):

Cast on 7 -13 stitches (make sure you cast on an odd number of stitches)
Knit 1, Purl 1 across the row
Bind off and sew the ends together.

Fingerless Mittens

These would be easy to make. Here is a similar pattern. You only need to know how to cast on, knit, and sew pieces together.
