The prototypes of these cuffs and leg warmers are black with buttons. The cuffs are mid-forearm-length and the gaiters go up till the knee.
With the coppery buttons these pieces are wonderful accessories for Steampunk outfits.
I used black wool of the strength 3 – 4 and needles of the strength 4. The buttons I used were sold in a very high quantity for not much money ;-)
The cuffs were so well received that I was asked to make them in different colours and lengths with or without buttons or with silvery buttons. That was how I made some very colourful copies of them and I sold a few, but kept also some brown and grey ones for myself ;-)
