Simple Crochet Ribbon Bracelet / Bangle


Annabelle's Ribbon Bracelet / Bangle

    100% cotton - Sugar & Cream Yarn
    Hook:  4.0 (F)

  • 25 single stitches
  • Slip stitch with beginning of row (do not add any ss here)
  • Continue with ss in each stitch
  • 1 row of double stitches
  • 2 rows of single stitches
  • Wrap yarn or ribbon around the center - (Shhh:  Don't tell on me, but I used hot glue to glue the beginning and end of the string onto the bracelet.)

I'll be adding these to my ETSY shop if you'd rather I make them for you.


Creative Ideas:  Use a different color for the center wrapped yarn; Use some jewelry pieces in the band; Use some buttons; Use the colors of the season (IE: red, white, and blue like these); Use your imagination !!

Quick and Easy Crochet Backpack


Crochet Backpack with Stripes
I made this sweet little backpack for my daughter's little girl.  (She's a nanny and the little girl is 2.)  The backpack with the flowers is the same pattern.

Wouldn't this be a fun gift for a little girl on Easter or a Spring/Summer birthday?

The next time I make it, I'll post the instructions here on my blog.



Lovin' it!  Click here to see this sweet backpack in my ETSY shop!

I'm adding instructions as I go along making my next backpack.  Here's the first one:
