Time for a Cure
Adorned with a “pink ribbon” charm and double-stranded beads, this quick-to-crochet wristwatch offers an elegant way to show your support for breast cancer research. Or for a versatile gift, switch the charm for one that says “made with love,” “dream,” “mom,” “bride,” “friends forever,” “sisters,” or “celebrate!”
This watch makes a great stash-buster fashion accessory and looks great in a variety of skinny yarn sizes: sock weight/size 3-8 thread held singly, or lace weight/size 10-20 thread held double! Crochet it with black bamboo yarn and hematite beads for a sleek modern look, in white cotton with seed beads to compliment your summer sundresses, in wine-coloured linen with Swarovski crystals for a sexy flair, and in silver or gold silk with freshwater pearls for your most special occasions! The inexpensive watch faces and clasps also come in a variety of colours and shapes, so the possibilities are endless!
10% of the designer’s proceeds from sale of this pattern will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Find out how you can help the cause at www.bcrfcure.org.
