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.
Hi Kara, I love your bracelet. And it’s so nice you can make it very quick.
It inspired me to make an orange bracelet, for Kingsday here in The Netherlands. I’ve also added your link to my blogpost (http://hipmethaken.blogspot.nl/2015/04/armband.html).
Yay! It came out great!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
If you do the JAYGO, after you finish the first petal do you just Ch 6, join with Sl st in furthest ch from hook to form a ring and then do round 1 and 2? I am a little confused on the joining, thank you!
I love this bracelet pattern -so live and perfect for a girl. Def. going to make it!
Thread crochet has always intimidated me. Then I saw this. I wanted to try making one to see if I could do it….besides what great surprise gifts for friends if I could. I have already made and joined two motifs (I hate joining things and have never done join as you go) with the join as you go method and I love, love, love how easy this is!! I can’t wait to get more thread in more colors than just the beige I had on hand! I am going to make a ton of these and keep them in my bag to have something to work on in short spare moments of time that is otherwise wasted when I’m running errands. Thank you so much for the free pattern and (for me) easy to follow instructions. If I do make some for my Etsy shop I will make sure to credit this site. You fantabulous!
Is it possible for you to post a video tutorial? Thanks 🙂
Hi! 🙂 I am trying to make this pattern. After I follow the first step i.e. doing 16 single crochet into a ring, I am having trouble in visually identifying all the 16 stitches in order to do the next step i.e [the sc, chain 3, sc] in alternate stitch. Since the central hole is small, won’t the 16 stitches overlap on each other? Please advise 🙂 Thanks!
Hi Aditi 🙂 The stitches may be close together but they shouldn’t overlap each other. If it helps, perhaps place a stitch marker to help identify the stitched you need to work in. Hope that helps.
Hi Kara! Thanks for your response. I tried by placing a marker. I reach that marker after doing 12 stitches. The remaining 4 stitches are on the top of the first four.
I will really appreciate if you can please post a video tutorial of this pattern. I really love this pattern and I am trying hard to make it 🙂
Push the older stitches back so u get some space to make the remaining stitches.
I love this. I wish I could crochet better.
Hi, I love this bracelet! I am planning on opening an etsy shop. Do you mind if I sell the finished product? If i so, am I supposed to link back to you? I’m new to selling and I didn’t see what your preference was.
You may absolutely sell your finished bracelets from the pattern. I would love if you could credit my site with the pattern (www.petalstopicots.com). And if you send me the link to your listing, I would be happy to promote it on my Facebook page as well. I wish you much success!!
I wanted to say again how adorable this is!! 😀
I’m so glad you think so!
The bracelet is adorable. What weight is the thread. I know they are listed by number. No,10 . No 3, etc. is it a thick or thin thread? Thanks
It is a number 10 weight thread. Hope that helps 🙂
