The Moulin Rouge cuffs have it all. Literally. Beads, sequins, beads and sequins together, stacked, bright shades, ruffles, frills and picots. Not for the retiring perhaps, but even the most corporate black cashmere coat or weekend fine grey sweater benefits by having a pair of these popped under the sleeves. They are dramatic, they do keep your wrists and hand surprisingly warm and you will be unable to resist some serious hand-posing.

The cuffs are tight at the wrist, with ribbing, knitted double, after which the flare that adorns your hands is created, upon which we also knit beads and beads with sequins. This flare has a sweet bell-shaped drape and finally, in the contrast shade, a frothy picot is added as a cast-off feature. Back to the wrists, where we pick up and knit a tight frill. You never know when this might be glimpsed, it’s best to be ready with an embellishment.
