Jersey Bracelet
from V & Co.
I love this bracelet. I mean LOVE it. Even <3 it. I'm the biggest fan of comfy-ness out there (I even held on to a fortune I got when I was 12 in my wallet). Most jewelry is not "comfortable" but it is attractive. This is great for me :-)
I've only ever made the 2 finger version of this, it was large enough around my wrist that I didn't want to make anything bigger.
I did the size on the right, with the color in the middle. |
You will need approximately 3 strips of jersey fabric (cut on the thin side unless you prefer a monster sized bracelet) 1" each is their recommendation, at 58" long minimum. Then you just need a hand.
First step is to cut an eyelet to start out in two of your three strips.
They measured it out to a 1/4" slit, but I just did a tiny snip with my scissors, no measuring involved.
Match them up,
Overlap,
Then you pull the third strip through,
And pull gently until you get a knot that looks like this:
Then you'll start weaving the knit around your fingers like so:
After you've looped around your fingers, you'll overlap (two fingers above, four fingers left)
And then start "weaving"
If you can't tell (took me a few tries until I was sure) you're pulling the originally looped knit OVER your finger, and over the overlap knit shown in the previous picture.
After you've done the looping a time or two, it'll begin to look like this:
And after you've done MANY loops, it'll begin to look like this:
Be sure to tug on the tail so that it makes the chain more defined (stretched out straight instead of scrunched up).
Once you've determined it's long enough, I always manually wrapped it around my wrist, carefully pull the loops off your fingers, and don't accidentally drop them:
Slip the extra tail through both loops
Pull through, and gently tie it off with a knot.
And voila!
