The Crafter’s Way 224–Crochet Bangle Tutorial

As promised here is a tutorial to make Crochet Bangles. I’ve included the instructions in both US and English language. I have used the term yarn even though I am technically using thread. For this project you will need a metal bangle, crochet hook size 2.75mm and 16m of  of my Eco Dyed Rayon thread.

US Crochet Language:
Start by making a Slip knot on your hook. We are now going to cover the bangle. These* instructions* will be the same for both US and English. With the slip knot on the hook place the hook under the bangle. Yarn over hook. (1) Draw hook under bangle. Place hook over bangle. Yarn over hook. (2) Pull hook through first two loops, leaving one. Repeat this step until you completely cover the bangle.*

When you return to start join both ends with a slipstitch (slip st). Make 2 chains (ch). Insert hook into top of 2nd stitch from slipstitch. You should now have 2 stitches on the hook. Yarn over, draw yarn through both stitches. This is a Single Crochet (sc). Continue making sc into every second stitch until you reach the beginning again. Make another slip st (3).
