New pattern alert!

Remember I said I would write up a pattern for these? Well here you go


Wrist Cuff Bracelet Thingy
(for lack of a better title)

Crochet Hook: Size US E

Yarn: Tahki Tweedy Cotton or Tahki Cotton Classic

Chain 35
Row 1: triple crochet into 5th chain from hook, then 1 triple crochet in each chain until the end. Turn.

Row 2: Chain 4, skip first triple crochet then triple crochet into each stitch till the end.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

Embellish with pins, brooches, and buttons. Get creative!

I tried out a few options for embellishments. What do you think?

I found this creepy pin in my jewelry box. But I don't really think it works. It sorta freaks me out.

Oh! Very nice. Thanks for posting the pattern! I like the creepy moon pin. But it's such a flexible pattern-- love the buttons.

i'm with kris - the top one is gorgeous.

the creepy one is too freaky for me. i fill like chanting 'i see dead people'.

It freaks you out? I can't imagine why having a creepy face looking up at you from your wrist would do that!

I love the vintage pin the most - it looks fantastic on the cuff. And the face pin is too creepy. I don't think I could even keep it in the house! eep.
