Instructions
This pattern creates a bracelet approximately 7-8 inches long, adjustable by adding/removing chain stitches from the band. Use the smaller hook for all flower, leaf, and delicate petal motifs.
Braided Band (using Size 10 Light Blue and Cream thread, 1.25mm hook):
Using Light Blue thread, ch 80. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Make two more identical chains: one in Light Blue and one in Cream/Off-White. Braid the three chains together tightly. Secure the ends by tying a small knot or using a few sl st. Trim excess thread, leaving a tail for attaching findings.
Small Crocheted Flowers (Make 2 in Medium Blue, 1 in Dark Blue, using Size 20/30 thread, 0.75mm hook):
Ch 4, join with sl st to form a ring.
Round 1: Ch 1, 6 sc in ring. Join with sl st to first sc.
Petal 1: (Ch 2, 1 dc, ch 2, sl st) in first sc.
Petal 2-5: (Sl st into next sc, ch 2, 1 dc, ch 2, sl st) in same sc.
Petal 6: (Sl st into next sc, ch 2, 1 dc, ch 2, sl st) in same sc. Join with sl st to first sl st of the round. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.
For the Medium Blue flowers, add a single silver seed bead to the center by passing the tail through the bead and securing it from the back. For the Dark Blue flower, you can leave it plain or add a tiny cluster of beads.
Crocheted Leaves (Make 3, using Size 20/30 Light Green thread, 0.75mm hook):
Ch 6.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, hdc in next ch, dc in next ch, hdc in next ch, (sc, ch 1, sc) in last ch (this forms the tip).
Row 2: Working down the other side of the chain, hdc in next ch, dc in next ch, hdc in next ch, sc in last ch. Join with sl st to first sc. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.
Delicate Beaded Petals (Make 3-4, using Size 20/30 Light Blue thread, 0.75mm hook and beads):
These petals are designed to be light and airy. String about 10-15 seed beads onto your thread before you start.
Ch 10.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in next 2 ch, (pull up 1 bead, sc in next ch) 2 times, sc in next 4 ch. Ch 1, turn.
Row 2: Sc in first 4 sts, (pull up 1 bead, sc in next st) 2 times, sc in last 3 sts. Ch 1, turn.
Row 3: Sc in first 3 sts, (pull up 1 bead, sc in next st) 2 times, sc in next 4 sts. Ch 1, turn.
Edging: Sl st evenly around the entire petal, inserting sl sts between previous rows and adding a picot (ch 3, sl st in first ch) at the tip. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing. You can gently block or stiffen these petals for better shape retention if desired.
Assembly:
Lay out your braided band. Arrange the crocheted flowers, leaves, and delicate beaded petals in a cluster on top of the band, positioning them slightly off-center as shown in the image. Play with the arrangement until you are happy with the design. Using the tapestry needle and the tails from each motif, carefully sew each piece securely onto the braided band. Trim any excess tails.
Finishing:
At each end of the braided band, use the long tail to create a small loop with a few sl st or by simply tying a secure knot. Attach a jump ring to each loop. Attach one side of your jewelry clasp to one jump ring. Attach the other side of the clasp to the other jump ring. Weave in and secure all remaining loose ends. Your elegant crochet floral bracelet is complete!
