It gives me such a satisfaction to know that Ive put them to good use.
I chose to make the cording in black and the crochet flower in a contrasting cream.
But you could choose any colour combination.
Crochet Flower:Adapted from ourDIY mulberry wreathpost.
Chain 19 (ensure that the starting chain has an odd number of chains).
Row 1: Hdc in second chain from hook.
Hdc in every following chain to end.
Row 2: Single crochet in next chain space.
Triple crochet five in next chain space.
Repeat pattern across to end of row.
Should end with a single crochet.
Fasten off, leaving tail long enough for sewing (about 4 inches).
Fix flower in place by sewing together.
Prepare to cast on using long tail method.
Cast on 3 stitches
3.
Do not turn the work.
Slide the stitches to the other end of the needle.
Knit a second row by bringing the yarn behind the work and starting with the first stitch.
Repeat steps 3-5 until i-cord measures 19 or desired length.
Darn the loose ends into the cord.
Attach the crochet flower to the cast off end of the i-cord.
Use a regular sewing thread and needle to secure in place.
And the bracelet is done!
