Wire Menorah/Votive Sleeves

Pattern: Wire Menorah/Votive Sleeves by Annie Modesitt in Handknit Holidays

Materials: 28 gauge wire, approximately 200-300 size 6 beads per votive sleeve

Needles: US 8/5mm

Info: These were a relatively quick knit. I was able to finish one votive in less than two hours including the time it took to string the beads. I made sixteen of the votive sleeves. I like them so much that I am going to keep a few around the house. The others are going to be gifts for my son's teachers.
