A spring bracelet is a fun little thing to make for the warmer months: flowers, butterflies, leaves, lacy openwork. They work up fast, use small amounts of yarn, and are a good way to use up thread left over from bigger projects.
A fine hook is really all you need for the plainer chain and slip stitch versions; the beaded ones just add beading work on top.
1. Floral Slave Bracelet
The Little Treasures designed this bracelet by playing with crocheted flowers and arranging them so they hang from a foundation chain, which is how it becomes a hand chain that links the wrist to a finger. The sample bracelet uses a chain of 40 on a fine hook, and the small flowers begin with a chain 5 joined into a ring and 5 single crochets in the ring. Each flower is cut, tied and woven in, so plan on a lot of little ends. The post is from 2018.

2. Simple Flower Bracelet
Celtic Knot Crochet designed this bracelet so you can swap each flower to match your outfit or mood. It uses size 3 thread for the flower (size 10 gives a smaller flower) and size 10 thread for the bracelet length, and if you are new to thread she suggests practicing first with medium weight acrylic yarn. It is small and quick enough to wear the same day, and there is a step-by-step video for the tricky part of joining.

3. Boho Summer Daisy Bracelet
Caitie Moore’s Boho Summer Daisy Bracelet was shared as part of The Hook Nook’s Maker Series. It is made with double knit crochet cotton (any light worsted or DK cotton works) and a 2.25 mm hook, starting with a cream bracelet base of 30 chains that you can make slightly longer or shorter to fit your wrist. Daisies, mini flowers and leaves are stitched onto the single crochet band. She notes you may need to adjust the starting chain if you use a different yarn.

4. Rose Bracelet
Nicole Riley’s rose bracelet is beginner friendly and made by creating small roses and joining them into a wearable piece with a simple button closure. It uses minimal yarn, so it suits gifts and craft fairs, and she likes how the roses sit along the wrist without being bulky. The page has both written instructions and a step-by-step video that shows how to make the roses, join them and add the button closure.

5. Boho Beaded Cuff Bracelet
Oombawka Design Crochet’s Boho Beaded Cuff Bracelet has a detailed photo tutorial and is made of fine thread with beads slid onto the chain spaces. If you don’t like cuff style bracelets that slide over your hand, you can add a magnetic closure instead. The page gives the thread amounts for the small bracelet, and Rhondda asks makers to add a project page on Ravelry.

7. Colorful Wristband
Crochetfantasy’s Summer bracelet on CrazyPatterns uses cotton yarn in green, yellow, orange, brown and blue, and a 1 mm hook, so the stitches are tiny. It has a butterfly with two wings, worked in any color you like, plus four flowers and a leaf motif band, closed with a button and chain loop. You need a sewing needle and thread, a button and a small amount of hollow fiber, and the yarn consumption is minimal, so leftovers work.

8. Leather Wrap Bracelet
Crafting for Weeks’ wrap bracelet uses leather cord and a crochet i-cord, a simple stitch technique she chose for a sleek look. If you don’t use leather, waxed cotton cord is a great vegan alternative, and 100% cotton is another option for a different thickness or style. She says it turned out amazing. It wraps around the wrist, and it stacks well with plainer bracelets.

9. Beaded Bracelet
Nicki’s Homemade Crafts’ bead bracelet is an easy free pattern that uses her beaded double crochet tutorial, with the beads peeking out between the stitches like little gems. She says the design of the bracelet is simple, but the beads make it look sleek and professional, so no one would know it was handmade. The page has a free written pattern and a video tutorial.

Sweet Softies’ bracelet is a no-sew, lacy adjustable bracelet that is quick, beginner friendly and uses just a small amount of yarn. It needs no metal clasps and fits any wrist size, and you can change the yarn weight, fiber, color and hook size, or embellish it with beads, tassels, buttons or appliqués.
