Bricolage Bracelets
‘Bricolage– something constructed or created from a diverse range of available things.’
Gather a variety of colorful beads, cotton thread, and a few toggle clasp sets; then have a marvelous time creating an assortment of beautiful, unique bracelets.*
Materials:
Knitting Loom: Sock Loom EFG
Yarn: Approximately 6.5 yards of a size 10 thread weight cotton yarn. Aunt Lydia’s Classic Crochet Thread was used in the samples.
Beads: at least 160 beads in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. Choose beads with an opening that will easily slide onto the cotton thread. The smallest beads used in the samples were size 6/0. The largest measure about ½” in diameter.
Notions: Knitting tool, scissors, needle, a toggle/clasp set for each bracelet, superglue.
Finished Size: Finished bracelet measures about 6” (including toggle and clasp)
(If a longer bracelet is desired, increase the length of the cotton thread and string additional beads. Every other row has 5 beads in it, so string additional beads in a multiple of 5.)
Gauge: 2 pattern repeats (4 rows) = approximately ¼” in length.
Special Techniques:
Placing Beads: See pattern for instructions
