CONSTRUCTION
The bracelets are worked flat.

Offering three widths and three closure options, the length measurements can be easily adapted depending on the wearer’s size and style. Each version requires very small amounts of lace-weight yarn, meaning Kanvas is a stash-busting dream. Linen Stitch is used throughout the main body of the bracelet, lending structure and an artistic woven effect.

Directions for three types of closure are provided. Closure 1 has an I-Cord at each end. Closure 2 has an I-Cord at one end and a closed loop at the other end. Closure 3 has a closed loop at one end and two I-Cords at the other end.
