About this design
I love making crochet jewelry. I’ve made quite a few necklaces, rings and earrings. I decided to add a bracelet to my collection which you can find right here on this page. They are easy to make and can be matched with every outfit.
This bracelet is a great project to use your yarn scraps for as you only need a little bit of yarn. They work up super fast, once you get the hang of it, it only takes about an hour.
They are the perfect gift to crochet for friends and family. I made one for Mother’s Day and every year in spring and summer I make some new bracelets for my new outfits.
You’ll definitely steal the show with a lot of oohing and aahing over this handmade crochet bracelet!

About this pattern
The pattern is simple: it’s completely made with single crochet stitches. Depending on the end cap you’re using, you start by making a magic ring with 6, 7 or 8 stitches. Next, all you have to do is making one single crochet in every stitch.
You can choose to use end caps (like on my picture) or without. If you don’t have bracelet caps at home and want to make a bracelet right away, just continue making a few more rounds of single crochet and close the tube without bracelet caps.
About the yarn
For this project you’ll need a little bit of cotton yarn that’s fingering or DK weight. I personally always work with mercerized cotton which has a beautiful sheen.
There are many brands that carry great cotton yarn. The bracelets on my pictures are made with Katia Capri, which is light weight shiny cotton with an extensive color range. You can also use Katia Fair Cotton which is similar and available in the USA.

Crochet Bracelet pattern
Begin with a magic ring
Round 1:
4 sc in magic ring (4)
Round 2:
1 sc in each st around (4)
This might be hard because it’s so small! It will become easier after round 3.
Round 3:
*1 sc in next st, 2 sc in next st* repeat 2 more times, 1 sc in last st (7)
Round 4:
1 sc in each st around (7)
Repeat round 4 until the bracelet is long enough. Take into account that you will attach caps and clasps on both ends, so the bracelet will become longer.
If you have any questions about this pattern, you can join my Facebook Group
Last round:
*1 sc in next st, sc2tog* repeat 2 more times, 1 sc in last st (4)
Fasten off and weave in ends.
End caps
Put some glue in the caps (not too much, or it will flood) and glue them to both sides of the bracelet.

This bracelet is so nice and hopefully I can make it. Your instructions are wonderful and so well written. You go out of your way to include all details to help understand pattern. Thanks so much. Marcine Snyder
If I don t have a bracelet cap what can I use as a closure?
Ordering all the supplies for the bracelets. How much yarn from a ball of Scheepjes is used to make one bracelet? Looking forward to making some. Thanks for the design.
That is very interesting, You are an excessively skilled
blogger. I have joined your rss feed and look ahead to searching for more of
your great post. Also, I’ve shared your web site in my social networks
I’m making this bracelet but wondering how to prevent tube from flattening ? I’m using #3 cotton yarn Patons Grace it’s called. 2.5 mm hook. Thank you. Tried smaller hook but hard to crochet tube as too small.
9
I’m sorry as meant to ask if crochet cotton size 3 would work. Thank you.
What type of glue do you have to use?
I’m wondering what weight cotton yarn did you use as can not find the kind you mentioned in our city. Would crochet cotton size # work ? Thank you. Love the bracelets. Maxine Jepsen
Very nice. I make items for an orphanage and these would be great. Thanks for the pattern. Wilma from Henderson Nevada
Thank you for being such amazing person. <3
Hi Wilma it is very hard me to do step 2 it doesn’t show if you turned to go into the stitches. Help Me
In the tutorial when working on the inc round you D.C. 1 after each inc but in written pattern you say… inc 1sc 3x. Making the round end with 7 sts. Which is right?
Hi Anna, not sure what you mean with the video, but I always do the following three times:
increase + 1sc in the next st
Hi can I use side 10 or 3 aunt Ann thread to make the braclet
Can acrylic be used for this? I want to make a diffuser bracelet for essential oils. Or would cotton be better for absorbing the oils
“Cotton would be better for that purpose. Some acrylic yarns can be scratchy as wel.
What kind of glue did you use?
I want to try and make this pattern for gifts to give family
Thinking you could probably use hot glue, if you are using cotton yarn. If you use an acrylic yarn, hot glue may melt it some. Craft glues Maynard work.
Hi Wilma i was wondering it you had done the Foot key ring holder in English yet thank you very much have had fun using your site 😀
Thanks for your message! I don’t, but I found this free pattern in English which you can use: http://letscrochet.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/MINI-AMIGURUMI-FOOTPRINT-KEYCHAIN-FREE-CROCHET-PATTERN.pdf

Free crochet pattern bracelet jewelry
I love making jewelry. Necklaces, rings, earrings and of course bracelets. They are easy to make and can be matched with every outfit. As many people asked about the pattern, I decided to write it down here.
Video tutorial
Bracelet cap
Put some glue in the caps (not too much, or it will flood) and put them on both sides of the bracelet. Make sure the caps are directly opposite each other!
Materials
– 2.5 mm crochet hook (US terms B hook)
– Cotton yarn (Weight: fingering or sport)
– Bracelet caps (8mm)
– Glue
Abbreviations
sc: single crochet
inc: increase (2 sc in next sc)
dec: decrease (next 2 sc together)
**: repeat
(): amount of stitches you should have at the end of the row
Work in continuous rounds! So do not use slip stitches. If you prefer thicker bracelets, use 8sc instead of 7sc. If you use smaller caps, use 5sc or 6sc.
Bracelet
1. 4sc in magic ring (4)
2. 4sc (4) – This might be hard because it’s so small!
3. *1sc, inc* Repeat 3x (7)
4. 7sc (7)
5. Repeat step 4 till the ‘tube’ is long enough. Take into account that you will attach caps and clasps at both ends, so the bracelet will be longer.
6. *1sc, dec* Repeat 3x (4) – This will make sure the bracelet ends fit in the caps.
End caps
Put some glue in the caps (not too much, or it will flood) and put them on both sides of the bracelet. Make sure the caps are directly opposite each other!
Here are some examples of end caps you can buy on Amazon. The full set below costs $12.99.
Or these, which I also have, 40 pieces for $7.39.
Five of these sets cost $6.45 and includes an extension chain to make it longer.
And the last ones I recommend are very unique. I really love the design but have not ordered myself yet (will do when I’m out of caps). 10 pieces cost $6.99. It’s a mixed order so I think you need to order 2 sets to have matching caps for 1 bracelet (otherwise you have 10 different caps)

What weight Cotton are you using?
Very small cotton, I think the weight is called fingering or sport in the US.
May I sell items made from the pattern?
Absolutely! 🙂 X

You are my breathing in, I own few web logs and rarely run out from to post .
Where did you get your end caps? They match perfectly with your bracelets
Is it ok to make bracelets to sell? (I don’t want to sell pattern)
Yes, go ahead! 🙂
Thanks ???
Thanks you
Very cute
