The Rustic Wrap Bracelet is an easy crochet project that works up quickly. You can customize the bracelet to be any size you need and use any beads you want (as long as they have center holes large enough to fit a large eye needle through).

The bracelet is long, which enables you to wrap it around your wrist three times. The closure is a larger bead that fits easily through a chained space. While I was photographing it, I discovered that you can actually wear this as an anklet too if you only wrap it around twice! Sorry, I didn’t photograph it as an anklet…I have unattractive feet. Ha!

This particular package of beads was purchased at Wal-Mart in the jewelry making section of the crafts department. It was an assorted set that included the larger copper-colored plastic bead so I didn’t have to buy it separate. I really enjoy the wooden beads, but you are more than welcome to use any kind of bead you wish.

You will need size 10 crochet thread and a C (2.75 mm) crochet hook. Now I know that the thread and smaller hook can be a turn off for some people for various reasons, but I’d like to suggest using an ergonomic crochet hook. I absolutely love my set of Boye ergonomic crochet hooks that you can see at this link.

I’ve used them daily for a couple years and they hold up beautifully! Best of all, they really save your hands and fingers from cramping up or otherwise being in pain. The soft squishy rubber handle makes working with these finer thread patterns a breeze.

The Rustic Wrap Bracelet would make an excellent gift for women and teenagers! And they also work up quickly and inexpensively if you are looking for something to sell at craft fairs. (Just be sure to credit the designer if you are selling online. Thank you!)

ATTACHING A BEAD

After you ch 2 in the instructions, you will draw up a large loop (about 1” to 1½”). Remove your crochet hook and insert that loop through the large eye of the tapestry needle. Slide 1 bead along the thread. Then, thread the needle through the bead until the bead is covering the ch 2. Remove the needle and replace your hook into the loop. Tighten your loop back onto your hook. Continue on with the pattern.

Notes:

• For proper sizing, see Size Chart below.
• Sizing is written as Small first with Medium, Large, XL written in parenthesis for the foundation chain. I recommend using a highlighter or circling your size to avoid confusion.
• If you’d like a size not listed, you can easily customize your size. Eight chains and 2 beads is equal to 1” or 4 chains and 1 bead is equal to ½”. Add or subtract chains and beads according to your size you wish to make.
• To determine your size, wrap the measuring tape around your wrist three times, aligning the “0” end of the tape with the measurement that indicates how loose or tight you’d prefer your bracelet. Choose the size closest to your desired size from the chart below.

*** American crochet terms used throughout.

Instructions:

Before you create your slip knot, thread all of your beads onto your crochet thread using a tapestry needle as shown in the photo below. Your first bead should be the large bead. 33 (35, 37, 39) beads not including the large bead.

Once your beads are all on, then you can create your slip knot to begin chaining.
