Free pattern: Ruffled Cufflette

cranberry cufflettes...

on my needles…

I have been totally smitten with this pattern lately. I picture it all finished and blocked layed out over a crisp white bedspread, as a Coverlet. Oooh…ahhhhh….

rippling on…

w.i.p update…I’m making quite a bit of progress on my ripple afghan.
