The rib-knit cuff pattern piece.

Where it is used

p. 11

Fold each cuff in half with the right sides facing in, then sew the short edge together. Sew the short edges with a straight stitch, keeping a 7mm seam allowance from the edge. Then, press the seams open.

p. 12

Begin by folding the cuff in half lengthwise, with the wrong side facing in. Pin it together, matching the notches and seam line. Next, sew a temporary straight stitch about 2–3 mm from the edge, making sure the edges stay even. As you sew, gently stretch the cuff if needed and remove the pins as you go. When finished, press the cuff carefully—avoid stretching or misshaping it. Sew two parallel lines on the machine, first setting your stitch length to 5mm. Leave long thread tails at the ends—you'll use these to gather the fabric. Pull the threads to gather the fabric, spreading the gathers evenly around. Once gathered, the lower edge should measure 1.5 times the length of the cuff.
