Materials Needed
- Yarn: Sparkling cotton yarn is used, but alternatives like macramé polyester or cotton yarn can also work.
- Hook: A 4.5 mm crochet hook.
- Scissors: Used for cutting the yarn.
- If the yarn is thin, it is folded into two layers to ensure firmness.
Getting Started
- Begin by creating a slip knot, followed by a chain.
- The length of the chain depends on the size of your wrist, with additional length needed to curve and shape the bracelet.
- Measure the chain by wrapping it around the widest part of your hand, ensuring it fits comfortably with extra room to twist the bracelet later.
Key Techniques
-
Slip Stitches: The bracelet is created entirely using slip stitches.
-
Insert the hook through the back loop of each chain stitch, yarn over, and pull through to form slip stitches.
-
Loose stitches are recommended to make the process easier.
- Joining Ends: Carefully join the two ends of the chain, ensuring that the stitches are not twisted, to form a circular shape.
Building the Bracelet
- Place a stitch marker at the beginning or end of each round to track the progress and avoid confusion.
- Continue crocheting in the same pattern by only working into the back loops of stitches to achieve a textured look.
- The total number of rounds depends on the desired width of the bracelet (e.g., 14 rounds for a medium thickness).
Final Steps and Finishing
- Once the desired width is achieved, cut the yarn and weave in the loose ends using a smaller crochet hook.
- Turn the bracelet inside out to use the back side as the visible, wearable side.
- Fold the bracelet to shape it into the boho-style design.
