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 bits of fancy yarn left over from our other free crochet projects. 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 three designs by Lucy Croft start and end with extra chains so that you can tie the crochet bracelet around your wrist once complete. Plus, then we've got another fab bracelet from Kirstie McLeod.
