In UK crochet terms but with notes as to how to translate to US terms also.

This pattern is very versatile and can be made with a larger hook (2.5mm or 3.5mm) and a larger yarn (2/3/4 ply) for a different effect or for a less experienced crocheter. Working with a small hook and thread can be daunting, give it a go with a larger weight thread and hook first to get the idea if you would like to.

I was inspired to make this when I saw pictures of a similar bracelet on Pinterest published. You may have also seen them and been disappointed, like me, to discover the instructions were in German! Eek! It looked fairly simple so I tried a few variations before coming up with this final pattern.

This pattern also teaches you how to make an integral button by crocheting around a bead. When I first started making this pattern I was sewing buttons onto the end, but as a very lazy person I wanted an easier way of doing it. I couldn’t find a pattern to make a button like this anywhere, so I thought I would work it out myself. Now you don’t need to because I have! A very handy skill to know.

Make them in every colour, and make them a little longer to make a pretty matching necklace.
