Braided Bracelet is a fast, satisfying crochet project that works up in an afternoon and makes a charming handmade gift for teens and adults alike.

Construction and technique

• Three straps worked flat in single crochet (sc), each one crocheted directly into the previous for a nearly seamless join
• Straps are braided into a classic three-strand braid for a polished, textured finish
• Closure features a shank button fastened through a chain-loop buttonhole
• Stitches covered: sc, ch (chain), sl st (slip stitch)
• A practical skill-builder: one small project covers sc, chaining, slip stitch, buttonhole construction, shank button attachment, and basic braiding

Materials

• Thread weight: Aunt Lydia’s Fashion Crochet size 3 thread recommended; one ball yields numerous bracelets
• Yardage: 10-15 yards per bracelet
• Hook: 1.3 mm or US D/3 (3.25 mm) depending on your thread choice
• Gauge: 6 sc x 5 rows = 1 in; hook size is a suggestion, match gauge for correct fit
• Notions: 1 shank button per bracelet

Sizing

• Three sizes included: Small, Medium, Large
• All sizing directions written in full

What’s included

• Written pattern in US crochet terminology
• Updated PDF download, print-ready format

Use a worsted or bulky weight yarn with a larger hook to extend the braid into a headband or necklace. The construction scales naturally across yarn weights.
