I loved making those knotted friendship bracelets when I was young and had a yearning to make some more bracelets! I thought they would be fun tiny gifts to send friends that I might not see so much right now. This one is perfect to send your friends a little hug and show them a little love. :heart: And seriously, when was the last time you got surprise mail that made you smile?

These are quick, but include a variety of fun techniques - perfect for learning without a ton of commitment - provisional cast on, colorwork, 3-needle bind-off! Get all 6 in the e-book!

This pattern will be free for the first 1000 downloads with code HUGFREE and free with purchase of any of my other patterns (add both to your cart) and code FUG for one week after that.

GAUGE
24 sts = 4” on US 2, sport weight
30 sts = 4”, on US 1, fingering weight
These are so small, I wouldn’t swatch as your swatch will be bigger than the item. After you complete the purl (turning) row, slide the stitches down onto the cord if you are using magic loop or onto a waste yarn if you are using DPN’s and try on if you are worried about size. They are also a bit stretchy, so better to make sure they aren’t too big rather than too small.

FINISHED SIZE
5/8” x 5” (child), 6” (women’s small), 7” (women’s large/men’s small), 8” (men’s large)
