Notes

Crocheted this one night in early December in a new coffeehouse while my husband and son played music. I had scraps of these colors on hand.

Really like this pattern worked with sport weight yarn (it’s a test of the new Lotus yarn at my website). I changed nothing—same stitch & row counts. Hope I wrote down somewhere what hook size I used; perhaps a 3.75 mm (F).

The original bracelet was made with worsted weight yarns. Some worsted wt yarns are on the chunky side of medium-thick, and that makes the bracelet come out on the bigger side of standard. That’s great for a thicker wrist and also for a wintertime cuff—more substance. Then I tried one in a fingering weight without increasing stitch or row counts. It fit me fine because I have very thin wrists. (I think I did put the button hole loops on slightly longer posts by just adding a few chains.)
