Sometimes I want to work on quick projects – and apparently today is the day! Bracelet number 2 coming your way 🙂 This free crochet pattern is for a Boho Beaded Cuff Bracelet and I have included 3 different sizes because I know we all have different hand sizes. If you do not like cuff style bracelets which you have to slide over your hand to wear, that is ok too! You can easily add a magnetic closure to the cuff ends instead to make it removable.

I didn’t have time to film a video tutorial today for this but I was able to snap some photos to demonstrate the 2 main steps to make the bracelet. Step 1 (for Row 1) is demonstrated in Tutorial 1 at the end of this post and shows you how to slide the bead onto the chain 2.  I also created a slideshow for YouTube showing this step.  Step 2 (for Row 2) is demonstrated in Tutorial 2 at the end of this post and shows you how to work the single crochet into sc from Row 1, between each bead.

I hope you enjoy this pattern and have time to make some bracelets for yourself, your friends and family. I would love to see them so if you are on Ravelry please add a project page 🙂 Thanks! ♥ Rhondda

Notes

• Please see the images at the end of the post to understand how you make the bead slide over the ch-2. This does involve removing your hook temporarily from the working loop to get the bead into the correct position. It is a little finicky the first time you do it but it becomes much easier afterwards 🙂 I have also created a slideshow on YouTube using the images if you prefer viewing them in this medium. I have not had a chance to film a video to demonstrate this technique.

• There are 2 Photo Tutorials at the end of this post. One Tutorial (Tutorial 1) for Row 1 and one tutorial (Tutorial 2) for Row 2.
• If you want to add the magnetic clasp / closure to your bracelet please leave a 6-8 inch tail of yarn before you begin R1. Once you have completed the bracelet following the instructions below, sew your closure to each end securely.
• The bracelet can be made to any length. Based on the gauge for this pattern, for every 1 bead you want to add, you need 3 chain stitches. The stitch multiple is the number of beads multiplied by 3 chains + 2. So 16 beads multiplied by 3 chains equals 48 chains + 2 equals a starting chain of 50.
