We all have them, those tiny bits of yarn too special to throw out. Instead of putting them in a bowl, why not make a bracelet – or a necklace? This is a recipe to make bracelets sized to fit your arm and desired length.

This is a fast project for last-minute gift knitting.

Pattern is 3 pages.

Skills Required:

• Russian Join (suggested)
• Working icord
• Grafting stitches

Gauge: 34 rows to 4 inches (10 cm) in i-cord, blocked

Finished Length for examples shown in images (including tab & blocked):
3 wraps (orange-blue): 22”/56 cm
4 wraps (multi-coloured): 29.25”/74.5 cm
6 wraps (grey-brown): 43.5”/110.5 cm

Other Tools:

• Locking stitch markers - 1
• Scrap yarn (for provisional cast-on)
• Crochet hook (at least the same size as your needle)
• A second US#2.5/3 mm needle for grafting
• Tapestry Needle
• Jeweler’s scale (a scale that can measure to a tenth of a gram - optional)

Note: When using these tiny amounts of yarn, it is often better to rely on weight measurements, rather than yardage. I use a jeweler’s scale to weight the bits and pieces of yarn to determine if I have enough for the length I wish to make.

Yarn: 8 to 14 yards/7 to 13 meters, (approximately 2 – 4 grams) of a fingering weight yarn that knits up to 7-7.5 sts/inch, depending on desired length.

Sample yardage and weights:
3 wraps (orange-blue): 8 yards/7 meters (2.2 grams)
4 wraps (multi-coloured): 11 yards/10 meters (2.9 grams)
6 wraps (grey-brown): 14 yards/13 meters(3.9 grams)
