These knitted bracelets are a great way of using up left over yarn. They knit up really quickly so you can make a bunch of them in no time.

Things you will need: Buttons Knitting needles needle and thread Wool in 2 contrasting colours (I used a chunky yarn for the bracelet itself)
Step 1: Cast on your stitches - because the wool i used was so chunky I only needed 4 stitches to get my desired width. If you are using a thinner yarn you will need more stitches. If you want to use more stitches make sure that you use an even number of stitches.
Step 2: Knit until your bracelet is long enough - as a rough guide this will be the diameter of your wrist plus 2cm (this works out to be approx 18cm for a small wrist)
Step 3: This is the part where you want to create your button-hole. To do this knit the first two stitches together, then do a yarn over twice and knit the last two stitches together. If you are using using more stitches on each row, you will need to do the above to the middle four stitches. If you are struggling with how to knit two stitches together or how to do a yarn over there are loads of videos on you tube showing how to do the stitches.
Step 4: On the next row knit the first stitch then knit into the loop created by the first yarn over, then knit into the second yarn over loop. Following this knit the final stitch. Knit 2 more rows after this.
Step 5: Cast off. Your bracelet is now ready for the fun stuff!
Step 6: Blanket stitch around the edge of the bracelet using a contrasting colour of yarn.

Step 7: Sew some star shapes at 2cm intervals along the bracelet using the contrasting yarn and a darning needle. Then sew a button into the centre of each of the stars.
Step 8: Finally add a large button 2cm from the end of the bracelet (the end without the buttonhole) so that it can be secured onto your wrist.
Your Bracelet is ready to wear! Enjoy!
