Banjaran is the word used in the Hindi language for a lady Gypsy, a wanderer. I have always been fascinated by their colorful attire.

Banjaran is an apt name for this colorful cuff/ bangle mainly because of the use of the bright gypsy colors and the boldness of its design. I guess, my soul must be a Banjaran who is like a rainbow, you can see it, can’t touch, yet altogether fascinating!

The cuff pattern is fairly simple, any crocheter can make it. The time it takes to make this bangle is also very less. So it is a great choice for last minute stocking stuffer gifts especially for teenagers.

Plus there is something very satisfying about small projects as they finish faster than bigger projects. So no more excuses of WIPs(Work in progress) and UFOs(Unfinished Objects).

Skill Level:
Easy

Materials:

Suggested Yarns:
I made it using my yarn, “Sari Silk Ribbon” in the colorway, “Gouldian Finch”. You may use any yarn to make this bangle. However, I personally think that a sari ribbon yarn and chunkier yarns will be the best choice for making this bangle. You can also use a separate color for each round to make the colors pop.

You will need about 10-12 yards of Super Bulky weight/ (5-6 wpi) yarn.
