About
Like most of us, I’ve been missing human connection during this time. I started remembering those friendship bracelets my sister and I made when we were children, and I thought a grown-up version might be just the thing to reach out and let loved ones know they’re in my thoughts. So here it is: a quick knit to keep me connected and grounded, practical enough to use up those last bits of fingering weight yarn, but fanciful enough to still be a diamond bracelet with a little bit of sparkle.

Construction
DAGBFB is a beaded lace cuff knit flat that uses pre-strung and placed beads. This sounds (and looks!) a lot more complicated than it is. If you’re new to lacework or beading, this is actually a pretty good starter piece. The pattern contains a resource section to help develop your skills in these areas. The sizing tip section gives advice on adjustments for a better fit. The pattern contains both written and charted instructions.

Techniques Used
-Cable cast on
-Pre-stringing beads
-Slipping pre-strung beads
-Placing beads
-Cable cast off

Yarn: 13-20 yards of any fingering weight yarn
Gauge: Technically, 32 stitches x 40 rows over 4”, however gauge isn’t really that critical and there is flexibility depending on personal taste
Needles: U.S. size #2 (2.75mm) knitting needles (double points will work)
Sizing and Measurements: To fit wrist circumference of approximately 6.5” (16.5 cm) below wrist bone
