Knitter's Wrap Bracelet

Free pattern

The Knitter’s Wrap Bracelet is a simple I-cord wrap bracelet, perfect for using up small quantities of yarn. This bracelet is a quick and easy project, which can be knit to any length for a perfect fit.

Sizing

The bracelet is a custom size, so you’ll need to measure your wrist and decide how many times you’d like the I-cord to wrap around your wrist. The pattern gives details of how to calculate how long you need to knit the I-cord using this information.

Yarn

The quantities listed below are based on the amount of yarn I used to knit my samples with an 11.5” / 29.3 cm long I-cord. You may need more or less yarn than this depending on the size of your bracelet, but you can use the below details to help estimate the quantity of yarn you’ll need.
Fingering weight yarn (2 grams / 9.3 yards / 8.5 metres)
or
DK weight yarn (4 grams / 8.7 yards / 8 metres)
I suggest using a fairly smooth yarn, so that the fastening can easily slide open and closed.

Suggested Yarn

Fingering weight sample 1 (grey and white with pink and turquoise speckles): Down Sheepy Lane 4ply, colour ‘Yennefer’ (75% Merino, 25% Nylon) - 100 grams / 464 yards / 425 metres per skein.
Fingering weight sample 2 (light grey): Third Vault Yarns Companion 4ply, colour ‘Rey’ (100% Superwash Merino) - 100 grams / 437 yards / 400 metres per skein.
Fingering weight sample 3 (pink with beads): Spectrum Fibre Twisted Sock, colour ‘Sugar Plum’ (80% Merino, 20% Nylon) - 100 grams / 400 yards / 365 metres per skein.
DK weight sample (green and blue): Spectrum Fibre Double Knit, colour ‘Mermaid Song’ (100% Superwash Merino) - 115 grams / 252 yards / 230 metres per skein.

Needles

Fingering weight version: 3.75 mm needles
DK weight version: 4.5 mm needles

Notions

  • Tapestry needle
  • Measuring tape

Gauge

Gauge is not important for this project, but you can change your needle size to adjust the appearance of the I-cord. If you think it looks too loose switch to a smaller needle size and if it looks too tight switch to a larger needle size.
