I wanted to make a special little gift for a special little girl. So what do little girls like … hmmm … pink, flowers, jewelry … yes!
I really hope she likes it!
Crochet Flower Bracelet
Here’s what you need:
- Size 10 crochet thread
- 2 mm steel hook
- Sewing needle
- Jewelry closure

Add this pattern to your Ravelry library.
Since my bracelet is for a little girl, I only made 5 motifs. Make the number you would need to fit around the wrist of your intended wearer.
Here is the pattern to work the flowers, but see below for different joining options before you get started.
Ch 6, join with Sl st in furthest ch from hook to form a ring.
Round 1: Ch 1 (does not count as st), work 16 scs into ring, join in 1st sc of round — 16 scs.
Round 2: Ch 1 (does not count as st), beginning in same st as join, *work [1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc], skip next st, rep from * 7 more times, join in 1st sc of round — 8 ch-3 spaces.
Round 3: Ch 1 (does not count as st), work 5 scs in each ch-3 sp around, join in 1st sc of round — 40 sts.
Fasten off.
Joining
To join the flowers into a bracelet, you can simply make all your motifs and then sew them together with a needle and thread or you can use the join as you go method (JAYGO).
To use the JAYGO method, complete your first flower as indicated above. But for your second flower and each after that, repeat Rounds 1 and 2 as above but work Round 3 as follows:
Round 3: Ch 1 (does not count as st), *work 5 scs in next ch-3 sp, repeat from * 5 more times, **in next ch-3 sp [work 2 scs, drop loop from hook and insert into 3rd st of petal on the flower you want to join it to and pull through the loop, continue working 3 sc in same ch-3 sp], repeat from ** for final petal, join in 1st sc of round — 40 sts.
Fasten off.
Using a sewing needle and your thread, sew bracelet closures to each side of your bracelet. Weave in all ends securely.
How much thread does it take to make one bracelet for a child and an adult? I need to make two children and one adult so I need to know how much to purchase..
The little balls I used are only 45 meters a piece and I barely made a dent in them. I don’t have an exact yardage amount but it wasn’t much at all. Hope that helps 🙂
Thanks Kara for the reply! It does make sense! I just liked your facebook page, I will post a picture when done. Thanks again.
Yay! I love seeing finished pics 🙂
Thanks for the pattern, very cute. I tried twice but ended up with 6 petals instead of 8. I don´t see how I can repeat 7 times on to the initial 16 stitches, since every repetition hold 3 stitches ( I understand that from *work [1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc], skip next st, rep from * 7 more times). Then if I ‘use’ 3 stitches 7 times I would need 21 initial stitches…OMG, I hope this makes sense…the thing is, I always end up with a hexagon instead of a flower..
thank you!
Hi Marta 🙂 Let me try to help … Stitches within brackets indicate a group of stitches that need to be worked in one place. So, [1 sc, ch 3, 1 sc] is all worked in 1 st, then the next is skipped. You do this a total of 8 times and it should cover the 16 sts from the previous round. Make sense?
thank you for sharing. i love it. i already pint it.
Hope you enjoy it!
Kara, this is sssssoooo gorgeous. I’m going to show it to my daughter when she gets home….I think she’d love a bracelet like this!
I hope she likes it!
This was adorable and I immediately grabbed my thread! I made one and your pattern reads beautifully! Thanks for sharing! May I post your picture of the bracelet along with mine on my Facebook page with a link to your site and the pattern?
Yay! So glad you like it!! Yes, you may absolutely use the picture. Let me know when your post is up and I’ll be sure to share it on my Facebook page 🙂
I am still learning about how to do the Facebook posting, but I did get the picture posted of my bracelet and placed a nice reference to your page. Thanks much! I enjoy your site and study it constantly to try to learn more about sharing about our craft. I hope to bring people together in my area who love to needlecraft and build a community of sharing. Someday I’ll be brave enough for a blog, for now the Facebook page is my first step. Best wishes!
Kara this bracelet is so elegant! I love how your center flower shares the colors of your other flowers!
Thanks so much, Marilyn!
What a sweet bracelet!! Pinned!
Thanks so much 🙂
Hi, I’m a crochet newbie. Would you mind translating how to do the following: work 5 scs in each ch-3 sp around.
(In my brain I see this as work 5 scs in every 3 ch sp. I’m sure I’m wrong)
Thank you!
Hi Kat 🙂 I will try to clarify. Ch-3 sp refers to the space created from making 3 chains in the previous round. So, you would work 5 single crochets in that space. Make sense?
The way this works in crochet, is you take that ch-3 chain from the previous round, and you work 5 scs into that chain. When I do something like that, I work the scs (or whatever stitch) by sort of wrapping them around the chain. Instead of sticking the hook into the chains themselves, I catch the working thread under the chain. Make sense? It totally hides the chain and creates an interesting look.
Simply adorable! Thanks for sharing with us 🙂
Hugs!
My pleasure, Stephanie!
