Dear Knitter,
I have made a variety of versions of the Dùn Cuff. Here you can see a single gold cuff with ruffle worn with a short sleeved Sulaire Spencer and a Breacan Wrap from my Woven Design Plans. You can also see it worn in a very different way over a Sea Ivory Staran with another woven scarf.

These elaborate pale cuffs illustrate how mismatching – one having a double ruffle and one with no ruffle – and a slight re-arrangement the colour palette can add further interest. You can see them here worn with a long sleeved Sulaire Spencer, a Lapwing Collar Video Class Kit and the Hare Hat from Creative Course 1.




This warm autumnal colourway is perfect for a single cuff. You can see it here worn with a Polaris Cardigan, woven scarf and White Jacobite Rose Hat Set.




The striking high contrast blue cuff set was my first colour experimentation with this design. I put together this colour palette to match the Queen of the Waves Hirta fingerless gloves, Sulaire Spencer, Levenish Hat and the Boreray Cardigan.




The red cuff was made to match the Queen of the Waves Boreray Pullover outfit which you can see here. You can also see it worn with a tweed jacket and Levenish Hat, accentuating the blues in the cuff.







I made the Firebirds Cuff to match the Firebirds Cardigan, Hat Set and woven wrap. After the shoot I decided to add a double ruffle to this cuff.




I made this cuff with scraps left over from the Oregon Autumn Vest. I have just finished sewing on the buttons and it is now ready for an outing on a photoshoot.


The Virtual Yarns checkout will be back from our holiday on the 7th of August, and the end of August will bring another Queen of the Waves patterncard kit. In the meantime I hope you will enjoy the fun and colourful Creative Course 2.
Happy Knitting,
Alice
