SIZE Small-Medium (Medium-Large) KNITTED MEASUREMENTS Upper wristlet circumference 8 (9 )/20.5 (24)cm GAUGE In Stockinette stitch, 20 sts and 28 rows = 4/10cm NOTES Due to the ripple pattern stitch, gauge is measured over Stockinette stitch. To make threading seed beads onto yarn easier, thread a sewing needle with a short piece of thread (approximately 8 long). Tie this thread into a loop and then put end of knitting yarn into this loop. Pick up beads onto needle, slide them onto the thread loop, and then onto the knitting yarn.
