Using the puff stitch pattern shown in the tutorial, crochet the textured bracelet body. Keep the shape of the bracelet tidy by working evenly.
Resize (or upsize)
Repeat stitch pattern until bracelet fits around your wrist as desired. Make it thinner, wider, shorter or longer depending on your style.
Join or Create
When the bracelet is the right size, add your preferred closure, or join the ends to fit the look you want.
Finish Edges
Neaten the edges, fasten off and weave in the ends neatly so that the bracelet looks clean and polished.
Helpful Hints

- Check the fit before you complete it.
- Use stitch markers if you want the edges to lie flat.

- The bracelet may sit nicely with light blocking.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Chain too tight initially

Customizing Concepts
Choose a solid color for a simple look or go with bright shades for something playful. Add a button, bead, charm or little bow. It can also feel extra special if it has a scalloped edge or decorative finish.
Styling Tructions
