Crochet is an outstanding medium for creating exquisite bracelets. There are many appropriate crochet techniques you could use — including bead crochet, wire crochet, traditional crochet, Tunisian crochet and others.

You can choose from a dazzling variety of different materials and supplies to personalize your bracelets and make them unique. You can crochet bracelets using yarn, crochet thread, wire, cord, ribbon, beads, charms, and even pull tabs that you pull off of cans. These aren’t your only possibilities, but they are some of the most popular.

Techniques Used: Tunisian crochet, wire crochet, and bead crochet

About This Pattern: This bracelet is challenging to crochet, but if you are interested in making the effort, it is an interesting and beautiful project.

To make my sample bracelet, I used copper wire to crochet the bangle in afghan stitch. Then I finished the edges of the bangle using coordinating copper-colored beads. The result is a bracelet that matches many of the items in my friend’s daughter’s wardrobe (the bracelet was a gift for her). It looks lovely with black, neutrals, pinks, reds and many other warm colors. Of course, as with any project, you can choose different colors if you prefer.

Techniques Used: Wire crochet, bead crochet

About This Pattern: This elegant cuff bracelet looks delicate and lacy — but it’s made of wire rather than thread or yarn. Beads finish the look, creating a focal point around the central lines of the design.

I think this bracelet is particularly well-suited for accessorizing holiday party ensembles, so I crocheted my sample bracelet in Christmas colors. I envision this design working well in many other color combinations, so I encourage you to try any other colors you think would be pretty.
