Snakes can be mysterious and terrifying at the same time. They are able to glide across any surface silently, but can exert deadly force when needed.

Now we don’t need deadly force, but we would like to stop people dead in their tracks to admire our knitting and awesome new wrap bracelet!!! Black Mamba is sure to get attention with its undulating waves of beads and yarn cascading down your arm.

The best part, this bracelet is totally customizable! You can make a single loop or create a sparkly long wrap bracelet to wear snug or loose. It’s all up to you. This lets you make the most what you have on hand.

This bracelet is crazy fun to knit and can be completed in one evening. This is the perfect accessory that can be made at the last minute to compliment any outfit.
