Learn To Knit Cuffs
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®
GAUGE:
About 9 stitches = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter stitch (knit every row).
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
CUFF (make 2) Cast on 15 stitches. Work in Garter stitch (knit every stitch on every row) until piece measures about 8 1/2 in. (22 cm) from beginning. Bind off, leaving a long yarn tail.
FINISHING Fold knit piece in half. Thread yarn tail into blunt needle. Sew sides of Cuff together for about 2 in. (5 cm). Leave next 1 in. (2.5 cm) unsewn for thumb opening, then seam remainder of sides. Weave yarn ends into inside (wrong side) of Cuff.

I chose this pattern because I was making a set for a Secret Santa recipient. I was doing a hat, scarf and wristlet set and I decided most of the work would go into the hat and scarf and the wristlets would be my easy project. This pattern seemed perfect. However, it came out looking very bulky and unattractive. I re-did it, casting on 18 stitches and working the whole thing in stockinette. Beautiful! Takes a little bit longer to work up, but not much, and it's definitely worth the improvement in appearance.
