Materials Needed

Chunky yarn (Frances uses thick, lush yarn for easier visibility)
Large crochet hook (size K recommended)
Scissors
Tapestry or darning needle

Step-by-Step Detailed Pattern

Foundation Chain

Begin with a slip knot: Wrap the tail around your fingers, pull the working yarn under the loop, and tighten to form your slip knot.
- Tip: If slip knots are tricky, refer to Lesson 1 on Frances’ channel for detailed instructions.
Chain according to wrist size: Measure the chain as it wraps semi-tightly around your wrist while leaving room for slight stretch.
- Frances uses 18 chains, but adjust based on your wrist size.
  Save
- As you chain, count out loud to keep track.

Half Double Crochet (HDC)

Start in the second chain from the hook: The first chain doesn’t count, so locate the second chain for your initial stitch.
Step-by-step HDC technique:
- Yarn over.
- Insert a hook into the chain.
- Yarn over again and pull through one loop. (You’ll now have 3 loops on your hook.)
  Save
- Yarn over once more and pull through all 3 loops to complete the stitch.
- Result: This forms your first half double crochet stitch.
Continue down the row: Repeat the above steps for each chain until you reach the last chain at the end of the row.

Turning Your Work

Chain 1 for height after completing the row.
Turn your work: Flip your piece so the stitches face in the opposite direction.
Save
- Begin working into the top loops of each stitch in the row.
Repeat HDC across the new row: Insert under both loops of the stitch and complete the half double crochet as described earlier.
Save
Build additional rows as desired: You can stop after a couple of rows for a thin bracelet or add more rows for a wider band.

Finishing Off

Completing the last row: When you’ve reached your desired width, chain 1 and leave about 6 inches of yarn for weaving in the ends. Cut the yarn and pull it through to secure the knot.
Weaving in ends: Use your tapestry needle to tuck the loose ends into the “wrong side” (inside) of your bracelet.

Stitching Together

Fold the bracelet into a circular shape, aligning both ends.
Save
Use your tapestry needle to whip stitch the ends together:
- Insert through two loops on one side and align with two loops on the opposite side. Pull the yarn through.
- Continue stitching until securely joined.
Create a final knot: On the inside, loop the thread to tie it securely. Trim excess yarn.
