How to prepare it
Begin the Foundation

Working the Main Section
Crochet the bracelet in a single row of double crochet, keeping your tension even so that the band looks smooth and tidy.
Change the size
Cut to a length that’s comfortable to work with and that fits around your wrist.
Join or Create
Add the built-in loop at the end to close the bracelet nicely around a button.
Complete the Edges
Fasten off, weave in the ends and attach your button securely.
Useful Tips
Use a stitch marker at the start if it helps, to keep your row neat. Check fit before you fasten off. If you are doing more than one try keep your tension the same so they match nicely.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Over-tightening the bracelet
- Loosen the loop of the button
- Uneven tension down the row
- Forgetting to test fit before finishing off
- Not sewing the button on tight
