This simple modern bracelet knit in a linen/silk blend using snakeskin stitch gives the impression of metal almost chain maille-like jewellery (but is much more comfortable!). The design is minimal with this simple stitch pattern - a quick and satisfying knit, great for gifts and an easy project even for beginner knitters.
