Crocheted bracelet

First initial ring and the next chaining section.

Ever since I started to crochet years ago, I’ve stuck to projects that use average size crochet hooks (around 5.5mm) or larger (10mm). A friend gave me a super tiny 2mm crochet hook and I have had it for years but never used it. I decided to change that! I bought some Aunt Lydia’s cotton yarn that is super skinny and uses a 2mm crochet hook. I found a FREE super cute bracelet pattern: http://happinesscrafty.blogspot.gr/2016/04/crochet-bracelet-free-pattern.html

After buying some beautiful teal colored cotton thread from JoAnn Fabrics, I dug out my teeny tiny itty bitty 2mm hook and began to try out this pattern. Wow was it weird and HARD to do.  I felt clumsy – like I had too many fingers. I kinda felt like a giant. Not kidding.

Starting to get the hang of this pattern! :)

After I tried a couple chains and crochet stitches, I was ready to tackle the pattern. It was a little confusing at first and I had to rip it out a couple times before I got the hang of it.

After chaining 10, you always connect to the half circle that you just crocheted.

I ended up with a total of 13 half circles. You can crochet as many or as few as you like so that it will fit your wrist perfectly. 

Keep adding more semi-circles until it's the length you want! It's that simple!

After finishing the bracelet, it was time to find a button. I searched through my hundreds of buttons before I found one I really liked. It is brown and kinda rustic looking. 

I sewed it on by going through the loop in the back as well as all around the base of the button.

Just like that: Ta-da! Crocheted bracelet complete!

                                                                                                       

It was a little wrinkly so I decided to iron it out so it laid nicer on my wrist.  Much better. Finished product! 

Next project – a crocheted necklace with the same cotton yarn AND tiny glass E-beads. First time I have tackled crocheting with beads! Look for that blog post down the road. :)
