Instructions
1. Make a Slipknot
To start your bracelet, make a slipknot. To do this, hold the end of the yarn in one hand and make a loop with the other hand. Insert the hook into the loop and pull the yarn through to create a slipknot.
2. Chain 10
Once you’ve made a slipknot, chain 10. To chain, simply insert the hook into the slipknot and pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook. Repeat this process 9 more times.
3. Single Crochet 10
Now, it’s time to start single crocheting. To single crochet, insert the hook into the second chain from the hook. Yarn over and pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook. Repeat this process 10 times across the row.
4. Chain 1, Turn
Once you’ve single crocheted 10 stitches, chain 1 and turn your work. This will start the next row.
5. Single Crochet 10
Repeat step 3 to single crochet 10 stitches across the row.
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5
Continue to repeat steps 4 and 5 until your bracelet is the desired length.
7. Finish Off
When you’ve reached the desired length, finish off by cutting the yarn, leaving a 6-inch tail. Thread the tail through the last stitch on the hook and pull tight to secure. Weave in any ends.
