These Beaded Cuffs are a great way to use up your leftover lace weight yarns and make gorgeous jewelry at the same time! The pattern includes two different designs, a wider lace diamond cuff and a beaded twist motif.  Worked over 17 and 12 sts respectively, this is not lace that will not hurt your brain, I promise!  You can, or course, skip the beads on this pattern and the cuffs will still be fabulous!  Kits are also available!

There is a photo tutorial on my website that will take you easily through the steps of working with the beads in this pattern.
