Someone (not me) might have neglected to remember their sister’s 50th birthday and so I took a couple of days off of my secret project to work on a gift for her. I’m really pleased with the way it turned out, so much so that I’m sad to see it go. Hopefully, she’ll enjoy wearing it as much as I enjoyed making it (there’s a little trepidation because she’s a jewelry artist).
I thought I would go ahead and share the pattern with everyone. Don’t be intimidated by the use of crochet thread instead of yarn. It takes a little getting used to but works up really quickly and simply once you get the hang of it. And, as always, feel free to comment if you have any questions!

Picot
Slip stitch in 1st sc. Fasten off. Weave in ends.
To Finish
Pin leaves and flowers flat and starch rather heavily.
Once dry, sew together – with dark blue sewing thread – using whip stitch & straight stitch, being careful to work through crochet stitches instead of over them, so sewing thread will not show through on finished piece. Attach pearls by threading white sewing thread through the center of pearl and pulling both threads through center hole of flower. Tie a knot and weave ends through crochet stitches of flower, being sure to knot securely to flower.
To create strap for clasp, chain desired length & half double crochet across. (Average women’s wrist size is 7.5 inches) Instead of weaving in ends, use to attach clasp to strap with knot and then weave ends into strap. Sew straps to the back of bracelet.
I hope you enjoy! If I have left anything unclear, please do let me know and I’ll try to clarify or correct!

This is beautiful! Thank you for the pattern. I’m sure your sister will love it not only for how thoughtful her sister was to make it for her but also for how beautiful it is.
Thanks! I’m certainly crossing my fingers. I always get nervous making something for someone else!
This is so pretty! I hope you don’t mind but I’m totally stealing this pattern. My Mom would love this for Christmas!
Thank you so much and please do steal away! I hope your mom likes it!
SOOOOO pretty! Will definitely be making one! (or two)
Oh, thank you so much! I’m so glad that you like it!
This is so nice! It’s a bit above my skill level yet, but I look forward to trying it out at a later time. Thanks for posting it.
It isn’t super hard and, of course, you can always message me with questions!
This looks lovely 🙂
Thank you so much!
Incredibly gorgeous – thank you so much for sharing! (Thinking of trying this in green with pink flowers for my own sister!)
Sorry to leave a second reply – quick question about Rnd 3, in the loop. Am I going inside the loop or along the outside? Also, each has six chains, but the pattern calls for (sc, hdc, 2 dc, tr, picot, tr, 2 dc, hdc, sc) which is nine if you do the dcs in the same stitch. Just a bit confused! Thanks!
Oh, nevermind! I think I’ve got it!
Please do let me know if you need anymore help! This is my first time writing this kind of pattern so I’m sure I haven’t been the clearest!
I will have to share your blog with my wife who also crochets. She was taught it by my mom. (and thanks for checking out my naturechirp blog on Fairy Rings) Gary
Many times the repair specialist can even come to you.
For almost all use, especially on road use,
if you run only one set of chains on the uphill end.

for automotive shop use. If they answer” yes”, you’ve got the job. Pretty much any business where you precision tune auto care 92110 keep a lot of money”. Best of all, stays where you put the chains.
