I love the curved connector bracelets – words, crosses, evil eye, etc. I decided to try crocheting on in lieu of the popular macrame versions. The straps aren’t as stiff as I used cotton thread to make them. My thread created an ombre effect, but you could do stripes, solid colors, etc.
crochet thread or embroidery floss
7/1.65mm hook
curved love connector (or other curved connector of your choice)
clasp (optional)
sl st thread to one side of the love connector.
ch until it reaches slightly less than halfway around the bottom of your wrist. (you can always add an extender chain, so I’d go a little too small rather than too big, unless you’re using elastic.)
count the stitches for reference on the other side. (mine was about 18 ch but i have pretty small wrists.)
sc back to the love connector.
sew in ends. I looped the end around the connector to give it extra durability.
add a lobster clasp (or clasp of your choice)
Variation Ideas:
crochet longer and tie closed instead of clasp
use embroidery floss instead of crochet thread
add seed beads along crochet straps
PS – I party here!
That turned out really cute–love the charm!
