Product Details
These wristlets with lively geckos on a background of floral ornamentation make a quick and entertaining knit, if you’re familiar with stranded colourwork. The sample was worked in Mechita, but any fingering-weight or sock yarn will work perfectly; you need at least two contrasting colours, but only about 186–197 yards (170–180 m) overall.
The pattern provides instructions for a three-colour pair of wristlets with different motifs and cuffs, as shown in the sample. But it also includes two additional charts with the mirror images of the main motifs, and the design can be worked in a number of colours.
Skills required: Knitting stranded colourwork in the round, working yarn overs and knitting stitches together for the picot edges, and optional beading with a small crochet hook.
The pattern contains a photo tutorial for working the picot edges. The colourwork motifs are charted; there will be some longer floats that you need to catch on the wrong side of your knitting.
