Free Pattern – Crochet Bracelets

crochetbracelets1

If you are keen to avoid buying lots of mini rubber bands, or perhaps fancy teaching a young person in your life how to crochet, I have designed three cotton bracelets for the summer. The lovely people at Blacksheep wools, have asked me to collaborate with them and create a number of exclusive free patterns for their website.

I used the really pretty Rico Creative Cotton Print Aran which has a lovely variegated pattern. Cotton is great for a summer bracelet – you virtually don’t have to take it off your arm. There are three levels of pattern here, from the most simple through to introducing flower crochet.

Don’t get me wrong – this year’s craze for connecting tiny rubber bands means that all over the country there are little huddles of young people creating – thinking of colour combinations – feeling proud of something they made.  I saw a little girl last week with about, twenty bracelets on both arms. They are pretty colourful and it always cheers might heart to see groups of kids busy making together.
