Sands of Time One Hour Bracelet @OombawkaDesign

I have designed this so you can extend the length easily if it is to small for your wrist after you have finished crocheting it.

I have created the bracelet in 2 lengths. They do stretch slightly – about .25″ and you can add a few extra rows at the very end if you are finished and realize it is a little bit too small to fit comfortably (just in case your gauge is different than mine!).

Sizes:

Small: 5.25″ long, 1″ wide
Large: 6.50″ long, 1″ wide

Supplies:

Button: one 18 mm button
Thread: Aunt Lydia’s Crochet Thread (Fashion 3) (1 – Super Fine)
Crochet Hook: 2.25 mm (B)

Large Bracelet:

R1: Ch 42, work 1 sc in the 2nd ch from the hook. *Work 1 sc in the next ch, ch 11, skip 7 ch, 1 sc in the next ch*. Repeat from * to * across to the last 4 ch. Work 1 sc in the last 4 ch. Turn.

Note: For the first bracelet you make I suggest you use a stitch marker (or even a safety pin) to mark each ch 11 section).

This image shows you the beginning of R1 (after the initial chain sts)

I recommend you mark the ch-11 sections as it can be difficult to tell them apart when you begin to work back along the row. Please note this image shows 5 sets of Ch 11 sts. If you are making the Large Bracelet you will have 4 sets and if you are making the Small Bracelet you will have 3 sets. If you have 5 sets the bracelet will be an additional 1.5″ in length.

R2: Ch 1, work 1 sc in each of the 1st 4 sc. *Work 1 sc in the next sc. You will now be working into the skipped ch from R1, in front of the ch 11. Work 1 hdc in each of the 7 skipped ch from R1; 1 sc in the next sc*. Repeat from * to * across to the last sc. Work 1 sc in the last sc. Turn.

Move the Stitch Marker Up to the Next Set of Ch sts.

R4: Ch 1, work 1 sc in each of the 1st 4 sc. *Work 1 sc in the next sc. You will now be working into the skipped hdc from R2, in front of the ch 9. Work 1 dc in each of the 7 skipped hdc from R2; 1 sc in the next sc of R3*. Repeat from * to * across to the last sc of R3. Work 1 sc in the last sc of R3. Turn.

R5: Repeat R3.

R6: Repeat R4.

R7: Ch 1, work 1 sc in the 1st sc. *Work 1 sc in the next sc. Ch 5. Working around all 3 chain strands (the ch 11 from R1, ch 9 from R3 and ch 9 from R5) by inserting your hook under the ch 11 and up under the ch 9 strands, work 1 sc. Ch 5. 1 sc in the next sc from R6*.  Repeat from * to * across to the last sc of R6. Work 1 sc in the last sc of R6. Turn.

You will now work the looped closure edge to fit over the button.

Closure:

To make your bracelet longer, repeat R2 as many times as needed in multiples of 2 (to ensure you finish on the correct side of the bracelet). Remember the bracelet will stretch slightly with wear. The instructions below will give you the bracelet I made in blue – the large size as indicated by the measurements listed at the top of the post.

Note: You will now work along the side edge of R8-R1 in the row ends.

Closure R2 Sands of Time Bracelet

R3: Ch 2, turn. Skip the 1st sc (note: the ch 2 counts as the 1 hdc), 1 hdc in the next sc. Ch 4 and skip 3 sc. Work 1 hdc in each of the last 2 sc.

Closure R3 Sands of Time Bracelet

Remember the initial ch 2 counts as 1 hdc so you do not need to work into the st below it!

Items used in this post:

My 18 mm button is a vintage button I purchased. I found it in a cookie tin full of buttons from a local antique shop. It has a post. If you want to use a flat button (like I used on the purple bracelet for Darla) you can but you will need to make a thread post to give it a little extra room to close securely.

PS! If you like my nails you can buy them from my Jamberry Shop (I am an Independent Jamberry Consultant) – Simply Daisy – Jamberry.

    Thank you for sharing your design. They are so pretty I thought about adding some beads as well. My granddaughter will love it. Her B-day is coming up soon and I’m making her a shawl so I will make the bracelet the same color, to match. Thanks again Ronda.

    Lovely crochet bracelets. I imagine I can add some beads in strategic places or buy some blingy yarn to make them fancy. Rhonda, you’re the best! Thanks for sharing your designs!
    Happy Hooking,
    Mary (yayamama)
