A quick and easy crochet jewelry project!
Materials used:
- Embroidery Floss Red Color System (1 ½ floss for one bracelet) from Wholeport
- crochet hook size 1 or the Sharp Crochet Hook
- one heart button. I used the lovely Heart shaped wooden charm pendant .
- clasps
- sewing needle to sew in the ends.
Stitches, terms and abbreviations used:
- ch: chain
- dc: double crochet
- shell: 7 double crochet into same stitch
- sl st: slip stitch
Bracelet Pattern:
1) With embroidery floss chain 4.
2) Into 4th. chain from hook make a shell of 7dc.
3) Ch3 and slip stitch into same stitch as the shell made.
4) Ch3 again
5) Turn your work from left to right, clockwise.
Around the ch3 bar made in the step 3, make a shell of 7 dc, then chain 3 and slip stitch into same stitch as the second shell made.
6) Repeat step 4-5 until you reach to the 10th. shell. Make the 10th. shell, chain 3, but don't slip stitch yet.
We will incorporate the button on the go.
Note: If you want to sew the button after the bracelet is done, skip the next steps and continue the bracelet until you have a total of 20 shells (10 on each side) for a women size, or 16 shells (8 on each side) for a little girl.
