Patriotic Star Bracelet

Sharing is caring!

Have you ever bought bracelet that doesn’t fit to your size?? For me, this happens quite often! Because my wrists are really skinny (and small hands…), usually non-adjustable bracelet fall off!! It happens once in a while for adjustable ones as well.

Couple years ago, I bought leather charm bracelets on Etsy, and I love it!! However, I didn’t read the description carefully enough, so I didn’t realize bracelet itself is long enough to cover my wrist! (I didn’t even need extend chain for it ?) It was very sad to see my bracelet fall off my wrist without unclasping.

Then I decided to make the bracelet smaller, but I kept procrastinating months after months…now I finally fixed it!! I bought “ribbon end” clasps (0.75 inch) from Joann for less than $2 for 3 sets! (It was $2.49 but on sale for $1.74!) I thought it was great deal!! I only needed 1 set, and I didn’t have any other bracelets to fix so I decided to make one!

4th of July is coming up so I thought it was perfect moment to be fashionable!
Because clasp was only 0.75 inches long, I needed thin yarn…thin enough to show details yet easy to make. I had so many embroidery floss in my house so I decided to use those.

When you hear 4th of July, of course the color would be red, white and blue, and design would be stripes and star! Recently I see so many star stitch projects, and I love the way it looks!! I learned this beautiful stitch from The Spruce. Check out Moogly for useful video as well!

I have another design in mind and I’ll be sharing that soon!

Here’s the free bracelet pattern! (You can purchase nicely formatted PDF at my Etsy shop HERE !)

Materials:

• 1 strand each of red, white, and blue embroidery floss
• 0.75 inch Ribbon end clamps
• US B/2.25mm crochet hook
• Tapestry needle
• Plier
• Jump rings to make it adjustable (optional)

Notes:

• Size – about 0.75in/1.9cm in width
  • If you have longer ribbon end clamps, you can adjust the width of foundation CH by multiple of 2
• I recommend crocheting together the ends of both colors when you change color for less weaving later.
• Number in [ ] indicates number of stitches in each row.

Abbreviations:

• CH – chain stitch
• HDC – half double crochet
• SC – single crochet
• ST – stitch
• YOH – yarn over hook

For following Star Stitches: Insert hook in the “eye”. YOH and draw up a loop (there should be 2 loops on hook now). Insert hook in the side of spike from last Star stitch. YOH and draw up a loop (3 loops on hook now). Insert hook in the same ST as last loop/spike you made in previous Star stitch. YOH and draw up a loop (4 loops now).
