Free crochet friendship bracelet patterns

If you’re after a quick stash-busting project, then you’re in the right place. These fab crochet friendship bracelet patterns only need a small amount of  yarn to make them, so it’s a great way to use up those leftover bits of fancy yarn you couldn’t bare to throw away! You can also embellish them with beads and buttons to make them extra special, or you could even use some special stitch markers on them to give them that extra bit of bling!

Our first 3 designs by Lucy Croft start and end with extra chains so that you can tie the crochet bracelet around your wrist once complete.

You will need

• Small amount of cotton 4ply yarn (you could try the bargain 10g balls of Scheepjes Catona, or the King Cole Giza Cotton Sorbet)
• A 3mm (US C/2 or D/3 hook)
• Small beads or beaded stitch markers

Measurements

Each crochet bracelet measures approx 22cm (8½in) long
