So this is going to be one of my very last tutorials I'm going to be making for the 20% project.

This tutorial is more difficult than my last few tutorials so.

To really get a herringbone cuff your going to want more than 3 row because if you have any less it wont turn out right.  Your going to need beads doesnt matter what color, elastic string, and scissors.  Also if you need to modify the size of the cuff you need to either add or subtract by 4 for the cuff to come out right

1. pull a length of string it doesn't matter how much, you can always add on more when you need to.  Start off with 40 beads as the base.  String them all on and once you get done with that tie the ends together, don't tie it supper tight but not loose either because you want it tight but you want it to stretch and cut off the small piece of string so you have your long piece still.
2. Next take 20 more beads, before you string the beads on, string through your first bead and add on 2 bead and string through the next bead which should put the 2 beads you just put on right on top of the beads you just strung through, slanting the two rows inward.
3. Skip over the next 2 beads and string the string through the 3rd bead which should cause the 2 beads you skipped over to slant along with the rest of the cuff.
4. Next add on the next 2 beads and basically repeat steps 2 and 3 doing that all the way around
5. when you get to the end of the row you want to skip over the last set of 2 beads and thread your sting up though the second row and the row you just did. Your going to take the end of the string and put it under the string of the bead and that should give you a loop, pull the string through the loop and it should create a not do that a few times and the cuff should come up.
6. Next thread the string through the next bead by a gap on the cuff, and skip over the gap and thread your string through the next first bead and again add on 2 beads and thread the string through the next bead.
7. So basically repeat step 2,3, and 5 and once you have the desired hight you want you should have a cuff that looks like the one in the picture above.

Sorry if this tutorial was kind of difficult to understand but watch my tutorial and if you need to I'll post GingerCandE's tutorial as well, but again this is a very difficult tutorial/cuff to make so.
