The finished bracelet.

Materials and yarn planning

Yarns we’ve reviewed that suit it: Bernat Softee Cotton yarn, Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton DK yarn. For the hook, choose by size and handle.

For an exact figure in your own yarn, weigh a washed swatch in the pattern stitch: the weighed-swatch yarn calculator scales it to each flat panel or strip. Allow a little more for seams, edging and tails.

Finished size and gauge

Measure the wrist where the bracelet will sit. With S single crochets per 10 cm, chain (wrist in cm + 2) × S ÷ 10, rounded up, plus 1 for turning.

The gauge calculator compares your swatch with the pattern. A stitch name you do not know is in the abbreviation chart; a UK pattern’s names are in the US/UK term reference.

The pattern

The band

  1. Chain 41 (for a 16 cm wrist at 22 single crochets per 10 cm; work out your own count from the sizing line).
  2. Row 1: single crochet in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across: 40 stitches.
  3. Rows 2 and 3: chain 1 and turn; single crochet in each stitch: 40 stitches.

Close it

  1. At the end of Row 3, chain 8 and slip stitch into the corner of the band to make a button loop. Fasten off.
  2. Sew the button to the middle of the other end, check it passes through the loop, and weave in the ends.

Check the work

3 rows of 40 single crochets. The loop is 8 chains; make it a little smaller than the button so it holds.

  • If the bracelet is too loose, take out a few stitches at the far end before sewing the button.
  • If the band curls, block it flat or work it in a firmer cotton.
