i’ll keep adding bracelets as I finish them … (instead of individual project pages). clearly this has become a favorite knitting pattern ♥

what a great quick knit! this is a super way to use up sock yarn leftovers. the beads here are 6/0 size (mostly).

this design has you pre-string the beads for the border, and the center ones are placed on the stitch with a crochet hook.

the pattern is flawless. I can’t wait to try another one of the designs included in the pattern. this one is called Japanese Flowers Bracelet.

the brown bracelet on the left was knitted with leftover sock yarn from my chocolate socks.

the gray bracelet on the right was knitted with leftovers from my elf socks.

although both were knitted the same, the gray one came out wider and longer --- probably due to the lack of “bounce” in the yarn. the gray yarn is a merino/tencel blend.

I feel the cuff should be the shorter length so it fits snuggly around the wrist, so I will be ripping back a bit on the gray one and will remove at least one of the center motifs.

I had left both unfinished with the icord extra long since I don’t yet have buttons chosen.
