Take a bit of fingering-weight yarn (hello, sock leftovers!), add a vintage button or two and a batch of sparkly beads, and voilà! Knitterly bling!

Bracelets are knit lengthwise, so simply string more beads and work more rows for the wider bracelet.

A simple crocheted chain makes the button loop (or two), as well as finishing off the one row edge. On the other edge, your tail from your cast-on attaches the buttons!
