Today is my turn to share my pinterest piece! I’ve been seeing this queen anne’s lace pattern on all sorts of pieces lately, scarfs mostly, some bookmarks as well as a headband. Then I saw this silver bracelet and fell in love!
It took a half dozen tries to figure out a pattern and size that would work. It was worth it! I’ve made it in 4 colors so far, and wear one of them all the time! I love them! Black, cream, red and now this brown one.
Here is the silver verions mine is based off of. Of course since mine isn’t metal it’s not a cuff, it’s a full circle! The pattern itself is pretty quick and easy, the last few rows, connecting the ends creating the circle is the tricky part, but I feel great about how I do it. I hope it’s easy for you to follow!

There it is!!! I hope you all love it as much as I do!!! I’ll be tickled if any of you try it! Don’t forget to link up your pinterest projects to our link party! Also Check out Holly’s shrinky dink bracelets, Amanda’s dog biscuits, and tomorrow is Rebecca’s turn!
Pin It 
I have the cuff pinned as well. I wondered if I starched the piece, if I could wear it as a cuff as well?

Probably??? I’ve used stiffy for a few other thread crochet projects, but I’m not the biggest fan of cuffs anyway so I didn’t bother trying. I’m sure you could though!
[Reply]
I love it! I still don’t think my skills can do this but I want one!

now you HAVE to come up and visit me and we’ll crochet together and I’ll help you make one!

Hi I’ve made similar bracelets and have used Fabric Stiffener to turn them into cuffs. Works great just water down a little saturate your piece then wrap around soda can or water bottle etc and let dry
Love this bracelet will be making a few myself

I’ve used stiffy before on thread crochet stuff and liked it, but I’m not the biggest fan of cuffs, and like it soft and comfortable anyway so that’s why I didn’t bother going that way. But if you do let me know!
[Reply]
It is gorgeous! I love all of those colors. I really need to learn how to crochet!

Thanks Holly! I love your bracelets as well! I’ve never tried printable shrinky dink material, I’m going to have to get some to play with.

This is beautiful Ashlee!! I love lace and how amazing that you can actually MAKE THAT!

Thank you so much!!! I think the challenge has gone really well this time!

This is great! I saw that bracelet on pinterest and loved it! I bet you could make it stiff with starch or something too. Thanks for this pattern.

I’m sure you could, I like softer bracelets to cuffs myself so I didn’t bother trying.

What size thread?

10, normal, easy to find and buy thread! I’ll add it to the pattern, thanks for asking!
[Reply]
Wow, this is too cute! You’re a pro crocheter! I tried learning once, but it just never caught on. :/ Really love the brown one!

Thanks! I’ve been doing it for quite awhile, but I like working with thread more than yarn most of the time, i love the small detailed work! I agree, the brown and tan are my favorites, but the black and red get worn more with my wardrobe!

I really need to learn how to crochet!

I agree, everyone should learn how in my opinion!!! There are so many fun things out there, and it doesn’t take long!

thank you so much for figuring out the pattern and sharing it with us! I already knew the picture from etsy and i really loved it. now i can try to make one myself! your pictures were also very helpful, thanks! the tip with wrapping it around a waterbottle is also very clever! i found your pin on pinterest!
greetings!

Thanks so much! I’m not into stiff jewelry, that why my version goes all the way around, but the water bottle trick is great if you want to create a cuff like the picture!

I have a question about this pattern. I just decided to try it out and i just started but i don’t understand something in the instructions. At the beginning after you make the ring of ch8, the next instruction says “working in the ring” do you mean working inside the big lumen of the ring or in the stitches that make up the ring?
[Reply]
Ashlee Reply:

inside the big lumen of the ring. Not in the stitches. There will be lots of room left over, but as you work the rest of the pattern you’ll see that it matches up just fine! Have fun and good luck!
[Reply]
thank you, i’ll give it another try tomorrow

It’s definitely one of those patterns that doesn’t make a lot of sense until you try it, at least for me… I played with a bit before attempting my first bracelet. the really tricky part is connecting the ends! Let me know if you have any other questions! Have fun!
[Reply]
I just finished the bracelet ^_^ it came out perfect! i did it in a dark red/ burgundy and yes connecting those last ends were a bit tricky but once i took my time and read carefully, lol it’s was simple enough. It was my first time using this small thread since i’m a beginner using the large yarn but i’m very very happy with the results
thank you for the pattern and the help!

I’m so glad it worked out for you! I’m SO glad that you were able to work out the connecting parts! I always get nervous with writing patterns! I know what I MEAN, but am always nervous it won’t make sense to anyone else!

i made this today in gold it turned out beautiful, thanks for the pattern

I’m SO glad! I’ve been wanting to try the metallic thread. Do you love it?

I pinned the cuff to see if I could copy it, now I don’t have to. Thanks. I will be making a few of these.

What a wonderful bracelet. I would love to make this when I need a fun break from sewing my aprons. I am pinning this to Pinterest to help spread work of your wonderful work there. Thanks! Megan

What method did you use to stiffen the cuff?

I didn’t… If you read the post the stiff one is the INSPIRATION piece, my bracelet is soft and loose
[Reply]
Thank you so much for sharing the pattern. I am going to make this, and post a picture here when I am done.
It is really pretty. I crochet earrings with thread, and have ventured into making bracelets. But, if I do make this, it will only be for my family.
