Mixology Mock Knit Cuffs



I am WILD about Red Heart's Mixology Yarn line!  This line of yarns has pre coordinated colors, prints, and swirl yarns, that all hook up to the same gauge and coordinate PERFECTLY!  I think the "Retro" color scheme is my absolute favorite!  With just one skein from each color in the scheme, you can make an entire ensemble!  With our eBook you can turn those 6 skeins into A short cowl, a chunky infinity scarf, and a thinner one, a pair of boot cuffs, and an ear warmer and STILL have a little to spare!  You can get all the patterns FREE here on my blog.  We will be posting a new pattern every 3 days until we release the eBook next week!  So check back often!

Read on in this post for the attached Mixology Mock Knit Cuffs Pattern.  Pin it for later HERE, or add it to your Ravelry Favorites HERE.

Mixology Mock Knit Boot Cuffs Pattern:

Materials:
The Mixology Line has sets of colors that are made to coordinate together.  By selecting a Swirl color, the coordinating print to that color, and the 4 solids out of the print, we can make anything and know that it will blend magically!  Mixology yards are all skeined in weight Super Bulky 6.  The textures and prints will differ.  Each skein will have 60 - 70 yards.
7 yards Red Heart Mixology in Solid Color A
6 yards Red Heart Mixology in Swirl Color B
6 yards Red Heart Mixology in Solid Color C
6 yards Red Heart Mixology in Solid Color D
6 yards Red Heart Mixology in Print Color E 
7 yards Red Heart Mixology in Solid Color F
Or make a set with 38 yards of one color!

Abbreviations:

Cuffs - Make 2 with Q Hook
Notes:
1) Do not count CH 1 as a ST.
2) Work 1st ST in same ST as CH 1.
3) Always work your Row 1 into the BACK RIDGE of your starting chain.
With Color A, CH 14 (Starting chain should be about 14" long OR should fit around widest part of calf without stretching)
Round 1: Join to back ridge of first CH to form a circle, be careful not to twist the chain.  Here is a link for a great technique to keep from twisting your chain: http://www.thelavenderchair.com/crochet-tutorial-how-to-join-a-long-series-of-chains/  CH 1, SC around in the back ridge of the starting chain, , join to back ridge of 1st SC with a SL ST using the starting loop of Color B  <14 ST>
Round 2: CH 1, SC around in the back ridge of Round 1.  (Note: The back ridge is the hump located on the back of the single crochet, this is sometimes called a camel stitch), join to back ridge of 1st SC with a SL ST using the starting loop of Color C  <14 ST>
Round 3: CH 1, SC around in the back ridge of Round 2, join to back ridge of 1st SC with a SL ST using the starting loop of Color D  <14 ST>
Round 4: CH 1, SC around in the back ridge of Round 3, join to back ridge of 1st SC with a SL ST using the starting loop of Color E  <14 ST>
