Forzo Cuff: Next Patternworks Kit Club Design!

Well, it's the end of September already, which means the 5th kit in the Patternworks Knit Jewelry Kit Club shipped and I can tell you all about it!



Forzo Cuff is a lace cuff designed to give you SUPER POWERS (Forzo means power in Latin).  Forzo Cuff incorporates double sided lace (the stitch is both charted and written out), prestrung beads that are worked onto yarnovers, placed beads (with Super Floss), and attached i-cord. You are sure to learn while knitting this cuff!  The pattern has video tutorials to teach you the techniques you aren't comfortable with.  I used a new-to-me lace yarn with this design, Fiesta Yarn's Ballerina, and will plan to use it for a future shawl... one of the things I love about this club is that it gets small amounts of really lovely yarns onto knitter's needles!

MATERIALS INCLUDED IN KIT 20 yards (2 grams) Fiesta Yarn Ballerina (50% Alpaca, 50% Tencel) 56 Size 8 glass seed beads (approx 2 grams) 5 Size 6 glass seed beads (approx .5 grams) Slide clasp Super floss Dental floss threader MATERIALS NEEDED US size 2 [2.75mm] needles   or size needed to obtain gauge 1 set US size 2.5 [3mm] double pointed needles,   or one size larger than needed to obtain gauge Tapestry needle Scrap lace yarn in contrasting color 1 Size C [2.75mm] crochet hook (for cast on) 2 Stitch markers Coordinating sewing thread and needle

And, of course, I needed to knit one in another colorway because I'm never happy with just "one" of something! This version is done in Sweet Georgia yarn Cash Silk in Ginger with Czech Crystal beads going up the central line.
