PART 2 OF SPRING Boho Bracelet
Week #7 of Let's Play - Crochet Fun
THIS WEEK #7
If you were here last week, I mentioned that this bracelet design has three (3) parts - Part 1 presented in Week #6 and Part 2 presented here today Week #7 and Part 3 will be revealed in Week #8.
So here we go - Part 2 Another simply perfect little accessory project for some spring crochet fun, we continue with this lovely easy bracelet pattern, and we make the bracelet a little wider this week.
Boho Bracelet has been made with remnants of cotton thread DMC Petra 5 and is perfectly suited for stash busting those odd bits of cotton threads and yarns lurking in the back of your yarn stash!
The DMC Petra mercerised cotton creates delicate looking crochet bracelets which are comfortably soft to wear, and at the same time very sturdy and durable, you can leave them on during bathing or swimming, absolutely perfect for summer holidays in the sun.
