Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved making my own bracelets using embroidery floss.\u00a0 I would spend hours upon hours poring through my macrame friendship bracelet book and trying out all different styles and colour combinations.\u00a0 I have very fond memories of gifting these bracelets to my friends and all of us wearing them proudly during recess!\u00a0 Now as an adult, I have been making elastic beaded bracelets and recently crochet cord bracelets for myself!\u00a0 I love layering bracelets, particularly during these warm days filled with sunshine when I’m sporting summer dresses, t-shirts and tank tops!\u00a0 These Crochet Cord Bracelets are very dainty, and I have added adjustable closure so that I can easily tighten them around my wrist without having to tie knots or ask someone for help!\u00a0 Read on to see how I make my pretty little bracelets!<\/p>\n

\"Crochet<\/p>\n

To make these bracelets you will need: DMC embroidery floss<\/a>, a Clover Amour 2 mm crochet hook<\/a>, a pair of scissors<\/a>, beads<\/a> (optional) and some glue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Crochet<\/p>\n

To begin, leave 16 cm\/6.3″ for an initial end (we will be using this end for the closure later on), make a slip knot, and insert your crochet hook.\u00a0 Chain 2.\u00a0 Next, work one single crochet in the back loop of the first chain you made.<\/p>\n

\"Crochet<\/p>\n

I have inserted my hook into the back loop of the first chain and then worked a single crochet.<\/p>\n

\"Crochet<\/p>\n

You will notice that the single crochet stitch you have just created makes a “V” formed by the back and front loops.\u00a0 This V points like an arrow towards two loops.\u00a0 You will insert your crochet hook into these two loops and work another single crochet.<\/p>\n

\"Crochet<\/p>\n

You keep repeating this process to form a crochet cord.\u00a0 You look for the V, insert your hook into the two loops that the V is pointing towards, and then work a single crochet.\u00a0 Try your best not to work too tightly as this will make it challenging to insert your hook into the two loops!\u00a0 As you continue working single crochets in this manner, you will find a rhythm and discover what tension to use!<\/p>\n

I learned how to crochet a cord through Planet June<\/strong><\/a>‘s very informative tutorial below!\u00a0 Watch all of this in action here:<\/p>\n
