Instead of the usual candy, hand out crochet bracelets in Halloween colors to the kids trick-or-treating, or give them as gifts at Halloween parties. Use different types of yarn and varied crochet hook sizes to make crochet bracelets in various sizes. One trick is to vary the gauge of the same crochet bracelet pattern to obtain different designs because the tension of the yarn gets changed. Try gluing orange and black sequins or Halloween-themed decorations once the bracelets are ready to add to the crochet decoration.
Things You'll Need
-1/4 yard size 10 orange colored thread
-1/4 yard size 10 black colored thread
-Size 7/1.65 mm crochet hook
Instructions
Step 1: Chain 55 stitches in orange colored thread. Turn and make a single crochet stitch in the second chain from hook and continue making single crochet stitches till the end of the basic chain.
Step 2: Turn and chain one stitch. Make 54 single crochet stitches and turn again. Continue this pattern for three rows in orange thread and three rows in black thread.
Step 3: Join orange thread in the bracelet for creating the edging. Chain one stitch and single crochet all around the bracelet, working three single crochet stitches into each corner.
Step 4: Join the edging with a slip stitch to the beginning stitch. Cut the thread and weave in the ends.
Step 5: Create bracelet ties by cutting 6x6-inch lengths of orange and black thread. Combine three alternate colored thread pieces and attach them to the bracelet using a single crochet stitch. Braid the threads together and tie a single knot at the end. Repeat the same for the other end of the bracelet.
Tips & Warnings
