Knitted Gift Bracelets
This is what I am making for basically all of my friend right now: Knitted bracelets. They are really easy to make and to personalize, and a great way to use little bits of stash yarn. You can make them really thin or thick like a cuff, and use any knit stitch pattern you know.
You can make them any size you want with any amount of yarn. Some examples of ones I’ve made recently:
3 kinds of variegated yarn - 1 wool in purple, green and blue; 1 mohair in green, brown, and blue; and one metallic in silver, green, blue, and purple
size 6 needles
Cast on 5 stitches. Knit in St st for 5 rows. Then knit in Reverse St st (if you are on a purl side, knit it; if you are on a knit side, purl it). Repeat this pattern until it reaches desired length — my bracelet was about 25 rows. Bind off and sew ends together.
1 worsted weight yarn
size 4 needles.
Cast on 8 sts. Work in seed stitch (knit, purl, knit, purl across the row) until it reaches desired length. Bind off and sew ends together.
