Kandi Basics: How to read cuff patterns

 Pattern made by: DreadedWheats  http://kandipatterns.com/patterns/simple/rainbow-band-12194

Reading patterns is pretty basic but can also be really confusing.
*points to the pattern* As you can see there are in total 12 rows to the cuff and at the base there are two 1st rows that's only because when you start off, you start off with a single .  When you start working on the actual cuff because you skip every other bead for row 2 and that pushes down every other bead in the first row and that's how you get the spaces for the rest of the cuff.  Thus you get the spaces for the rest of the row and why there is two 1st rows.  Also when starting your single to start the cuff you want to count all of the 1st row so in this pattern the cuff would be 36 and every individual row would have 18.  Also if you need to add or take away any beads in the first row to fit your wrist how you want it you need to either take away or add 2 beads.  The reason for that is because if it isn't an even number it cuff will mess up and it wont work out, thus you need to add or take away an even count of beads.
