Quick Project Steps

If you’re looking for a simple, delicate bracelet that you can wear everyday, the Cable Knit Bracelet is a great choice. This bracelet has a thin, comfortable design that makes it perfect for everyday wear.
1. Put on a stop bead using a size 12 needle on about 5 feet of thread. Pick up a Minos bead and then thread through the center of an Arcos bead. Add on 3 seed beads and sew through the top hole of the Arcos. Go down through another Arcos bead on the end making sure the arch is the opposite direction of the first bead. Add on 3 seed beads and thread back down the center hole of the Arcos. Add on another Minos and continue the pattern.
2. Watch the Cable Knit bracelet tutorial to follow along with Allie as she shows you how to finish the pattern and add a cup button to the end.
3. Decorate the outside of the project with seed beads and Potomac crystal rondelles. Form a loop of seed bead at the end for the cup button.
This Cable Knit Bracelet really shows of the Arcos and Minos beads. The crystals give it a little bit of sparkle. You could easily stitch a longer strip to make a cute wrap bracelet.

Of the items I have received, they are well made. The offer of free patterns to subscribe has not panned out, as I have never received them. I have emailed, but have not received a reply. Their ordering system does not work right for these "free" patterns, and I ended up paying for one of them. The "continue to checkout" will only work with the billing address and not the shipping address, so there they all sit, in my orders tab, with just ship to United States on them. They have not even been shipped. There is no way to correct this, and they do not answer my emails.
