Other
notes: Any cotton yarn in any weight may be used for this pattern. Just use the hook recommended on your yarn
ball band. Thicker weight yarns will
make for wider bracelets and finer yarns will make thinner bracelets.
Fasten off and change colours after each round. Join in new colours with a sl st. It is recommended that you work over your
ends as you go. This pattern uses the
advanced technique surface crochet.
Make your
starting chain long enough to fit just over half of yours or recipients’ wrist
size.

last ch. Continue along underside of
ch. Sc in each ch across, 2 sc in same
ch as 1st sc, join with sl st to 1st sc.
Round 2 Join in the 1st st of any 3sc group from previous round, ch1
(does not count as st), 3hdc in same st, 3hdc in next 2 sts, hdc in each st
until next 3sc group, 3hdc in next 3 sts, hdc in all remaining sts, join with
sl st to 1st hdc.
Round 3 Join in any st, hdc in each st around and 3hdc in each centre st of 3hdc
groups from previous round, join with sl st to 1st hdc.

Surface crochet ch sts over rounds 1, 2 & 3. For round 1 you will work into the top of the
sts and for rounds 2 & 3 around the post.
Weave in all ends and sew on button.
Alternatively, you could sew on some coloured jewellery elastic to
replace the button loop (you would then sc in each st around and miss out the
button loop on round 4), this might be beneficial if you do not know the recipient’s wrist size.
