I made the gorgeous Crochet Bow Bracelet after I saw something similar in a magazine. For the life of me I can't figure out which magazine I saw it in, but if I find it I promise to upload a pic and show you how similar it is. I used 28 Gauge wire and started with the bow....
I crocket a rectangle for the bow. The height of the bow depends on you, add more rows for a bigger bow, less for a smaller one, but I would use at least four rows to get a "fluffy" looking bow. I finished off the end of the rectangle and strung it into the edges. I then used some wire to wrap around the middle and pinch it. Finally slide some wire through the middle of the back of the bow and begin to make a long chain- long enough to fit over your hand and fit snuggly on your wrist. I single crocheted into every chain stitch to make it a thicker, more durable band. Finish off the end and then string the left over wire into the bracelet band.
It's a quick written explanation of how to make this bracelet, if you would like more details, don't hesitate to email me! Sellz@SellzCuteThings.com

Hi- Molly, you are most welcomed and I am so glad I could give you some creative inspiration. Thank you for your kind words I appreciate them very much :-)
DeleteHi- Skybriscoe, the wrist is the length of about 20 chain links. But the length is going to vary depending of the wrist of the person that will wear it. You should measure it first on the persons wrist before finishing the circle. You can find more info here ( http://www.sellzcutethings.blogspot.com/2012/03/young-lady-named-camila-asked-me-to.html ) Its a tutorial for a ring, but I included notes on where to adjust to make the bracelet.
