SIDE HUSTLE CUFFS use squishy garter stitch and short row shaping to create a unique cuff shape that gives your hands a little hug! Knit in 2 or more colors, these cuffs can be worked in DK weight yarn or fingering weight yarn held double to achieve gauge. These cozy warmers can be tucked into the sleeves of a long-sleeved shirt for just a bit of extra warmth.

From Katie B.
The Side Hustle Cuffs are a simple, clear, and customizable pattern with an infinite amount of possibilities! Shanalines Designs patterns always allow for personalization, and these cuffs are no exception. Simple and adjustable, this pattern is definitely one that I will return to again and again for the people in my life.

These cuffs work up extremely quickly, are quick to knit and make a great gift for anyone. They are a perfect introduction if you’re new to short rows in knitting. Shana’s patterns are always written clearly and easy to follow.
