Supplies You’ll Need
- Two yarn colors – Example: charcoal and royal blue.
- Two crochet hooks:
- Larger hook (e.g., US size J, 6mm).
- Smaller hook (e.g., US size G).
- Scissors.
- Optional: Tapestry needle for weaving in ends (not required).
Step-by-Step Guide:
Step 1: Preparing to Crochet
- Select Your First Color: Decide which color will be dominant (e.g., royal blue in the example).
- Leave a Long Tail: Start with the larger crochet hook and leave a long yarn tail.
- Make a Slip Knot: Create a slip knot on your hook and ensure the tail is intentionally long.
Step 2: Creating the Base Chain
- Chain Loose Stitches: Create 20 chains plus one (total = 21). Keep the stitches loose for ease.
- Measure the Wrist: Adjust the number of chains based on the wrist size for a custom fit.
Step 3: Single Crochet Along the Chain
- Turn Chain Over: Work into the back humps of the chain for a cleaner stitch finish.
- Insert Hook, Yarn Over, Pull Through: Create single crochet stitches. Repeat into each hump until you reach the end.
- Chain One and Cut Yarn: Measure and cut the working yarn to match the long tail. Fasten off securely with a knot.
Step 4: Adding the Second Color
- Switch to Smaller Crochet Hook: Change to the smaller hook for cleaner stitches with the second yarn.
- Leave a Long Tail Again: Measure a yarn tail equal to the previous tail length.
- Start on the Reverse Side: Insert your hook into the underside of the chain stitches.
- Make Slip Stitches:
- Insert the hook into the chain-like stitches seen on the base’s underside.
- Yarn over and pull through the loop for slip stitches.
- Work clockwise around the bracelet until you return to the tail end.
Step 5: Completing the Bracelet
- Fasten Off Again: Chain one, cut the working yarn, and tie a secure knot near the bracelet.
- Final Knots: Tie knots on the ends of the bracelet tails to prevent slipping when adjusted.
- Trim Excess: Use scissors to neatly trim excess yarn.
Step 6: Making the Bracelet Adjustable
- Overlap Tail Ends: Lay the blue and charcoal tails over one another, aligning their knots.
- Cut a New Yarn Piece: Cut a separate piece of yarn (any color) to tie around the overlap area.
- Secure the Overlap:
- Wrap the new yarn around the tail overlap several times.
- Tie knots to secure it.
- Wrap the yarn neatly for a polished finish.
- Pull Excess Ends Inward: Tie inner knots, cut the excess, or use a tapestry needle for weaving ends.
Step 7: Testing and Adjusting
- Adjustability: Pull the knots on either end of the bracelet to widen or tighten it.
- Reversible Design: The bracelet can be worn with either the slip-stitched side or the smooth base side for versatility.
