All About the Knitter's Wrap Bracelet Pattern
I recently released the Knitter's Wrap Bracelet pattern; a simple I-cord wrap bracelet perfect for using up small quantities of yarn.
I first got the idea for this bracelet a few months ago and thought it'd be a great quick project, which would make use of the little scraps of yarn leftover from projects. It's a really simple project because it's just a knitted I-cord with a fastening, so I originally thought it'd be too simple to make a pattern for. I eventually decided I could just put together a free pattern, which I've been using when knitting more of these bracelets - I've already knitted four of these for myself!
You can really experiment with any weight of yarn and needle size when knitting these bracelets. I've used DK and fingering weight yarn for mine but you could use other yarn weights, or knit with multiple strands of yarn held together.
I'd been wanting to incorporate beads in my knitting for a while but hadn't found a project I thought it'd work well for. When I was knitting my first sample I realised a bracelet would be the perfect project to experiment with some beads, so I ordered some and a small crochet hook. I found they really added a bit of sparkle to the bracelet and it's made me want to use beads in future projects.
I was originally going to include a few different sizes in the pattern, but I realised it would make more sense to just make it totally custom. You'd need to measure your wrist anyway to determine what size to knit, so I thought it'd be better to just use your wrist measurement to create a bracelet which fits perfectly.
Since I knew the pattern was going to be free I thought I could try making a short course to accompany it, since I wouldn't need to worry about keeping details of the pattern behind a paywall. Whilst I was knitting my final sample I created tutorial videos to show every step of making the bracelet. I know some knitters find videos easier to follow than written patterns, so if you'd prefer you can just follow the course videos without needing to use the pattern. Alternatively you could follow the pattern but refer to the course if you find any of the steps tricky.
