Bobby's Conglomerate Cuffs

Inspired by fanalaine's version of the elf clobber cuffs, but based pretty well on tiny owl's white rabbit wrist-ees, both ala Ravelry...

Using some vintage Op-Shop mohair (which I am erroneously going to call 4-5ply) and size 2.75mm DPN's:
Cast On 49 stitches in Main Colour
Join into round (place marker at join) and K1, P1 rib for 2 rows MC.
4 rows (all Knit rows now) MC,
3 rows Contrast Colour.
4 rows MC,
3 rows CC,
4 rows MC,
3 rows CC,
Change to 2.25mm needles:
7 rows MC,
3 rows CC,
9 rows MC,
3 rows CC,
11 rows MC,
3 rows CC,
3 rows MC, then:
Knit and BACK and FORTH... ala FLAT. i.e. Knit one row, purl the next and no longer in the round.
10 rows MC (making a total of 13 MC rows in this stripe),
3 rows CC,
4 rows MC,
3 rows CC,
4 rows MC, then 2 rows K1, P1 rib.
Cast Off in rib.
Join the seam for the first 15-ish mm. Re-inforce the base of the opening by either seaming a tiny bit or just going over and over the place where it splits open for your Tom Thumb.

Nuffin to it.

P.S. I can't decide whether or not to add crochet? Maybe not? Maybe next time?
