Strap – second side
Join yarn to middle sc of middle 3 sc group on the opposite side of the motif and work second side of strap in the same way as the first.
Finishing. Weave in ends. Sew button to the end of one of the straps. The loop at the end of the other side of the strap acts as the buttonhole.
Pattern note: The bracelet length can be altered to fit any size wrist. To make it larger, increase the foundation chain of the strap by 4 stitches (on one or both sides) and make an additional 3 ch loop in the first row. To decrease, work 4 less ch and leave out one of the 3 ch loops. Each 3 ch loop adds approx. half an inch to the total length of the strap.

This is a beautiful pattern. I love the design and usually I'm not into yarn bracelets. You've got a winner here. I'd wear one myself as well as give them for presents...not to mention sell at a KAS booth at a fair to raise postage money. Great idea, thanks so much for sharing with us! :D

This is really pretty. I'm not much into yarn bracelets but this one, and it's in my favorite blue, really is appealing. I am thinking that this pattern done in embroidery cottons or crochet thread could end up as a hair barrette even or pretty brooch.
How long does it take you to make one, Elaine? And congrats on getting the photo up, I'm a bit techno-phobic myself. :)

Well done Jeanne, I hadn't thought of it as a barrette or brooch but you're absolutely right. Worked in embroidery thread, it would probably be about the right size. It's really quick and easy to make - the motif is just three rounds and then it's really just chains and sc into spaces. Not sure how long it took because I was making it up as I went along but easy to make in an evening I would think.
