Fortune Teller Cuff
This soft sculpture for your wrist knits up like magic. The key: carrying a thin strand of a yarn blended from silk and steel along with a soft wool, to give the bracelet the strength and flexibility to be 3D.
From simple sequences of yarnovers and decreases—only 31 rounds of knitting in total—a sinuous, star-like shape emerges.
We recommend knitting your first Fortune Teller as a prototype, using a single strand of sock yarn, to familiarize yourself with how the increases and decreases shape the bracelet.
