Heart Me Wristlets

Discover the beauty of Latvian knitting with our free pattern for a delightful pair of mau?i knit and beaded cuffs, featuring three charming beaded hearts on each cuff. This pattern, suitable for both beginner knitters and experienced crafters looking to explore the world of knitting with beads, provides complete written instructions as well as a clear chart for easy reference.

The cuffs are crafted sideways in a cozy garter stitch, utilizing a simple beading technique where seed beads are pre-threaded onto your yarn and inserted between stitches one by one. This user-friendly method requires no special tools or expert skills; however, be sure to organize your beads beforehand to ensure they are in the right order before you start knitting. This attention to detail will make your crafting experience smoother and more enjoyable.

For this project, you'll need approximately 25 grams of fingering weight yarn along with size 9 seed beads in two beautiful colors. In the modeled pair, we recommend using Gutermann Size 9 seed beads for their quality and ease of use.

Colour a (for the three bead dash motif): 366 beads Colour b (for the hearts): 402 beads.

The finished cuff size measures 10.5 x 16 cm (unseamed), making it ideal for an adult female wrist circumference. If you'd like to create a pair for a child, simply adjust the pattern by using lace weight yarn for a more delicate fit. Get ready to enhance your knitting skills while creating a unique accessory that showcases your creativity!
