I really enjoy crocheting jewelry. I like that I can start a project and be
completely finished with it an couple hours later. This is particularly when I've been working on a larger project that takes weeks to finish!I was looking through my pattern/stitch folder... just a simple pocket folder where I
I've had the Gilded Fans stitch tutorial printed out and waiting for me to figure out how I was going to use it, for quite some time. Then it hit me! I could make an elegant cuff bracelet! I ended up having to adapt the stitch just slightly, so that it would work with this project. Once I tried a couple of things, and got it figured out, it was smooth sailing from there. I really like how it turned out, too!
Here's how to make it:

Shared this one on google. Love the bracelet. I will make one soon for sure. Great idea to use fanstitch.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bindu! :-)
DeleteVery nice Cuff I may just have to hook one of these for a friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Thank you, Mistea. :-)
DeleteSuper awesome pattern! Will start this bracelet tomorrow; only problem is WHAT COLOR?? LOL! Guess I'll solve my own problem & stitch a dozen! Wish me luck! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kristen!
DeleteI didn't have the color dilemma, myself, because I only had one color thread at the time. lol
I'd LOVE to see it in different colors! Feel free to post a pic on my Facebook page when you are finished! :-)
I'll do that! And I'll post on Ravelry, where I found the pattern. My username is crochetmommie. I'm going back to Ravelry & friend you, because you're so nice! Hope you do the same!! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! I just added you! :-)
DeleteLove the design. I am trying to make it but I am having trouble with row 5 and 6. I cannot get it to work right. Can you please clarify the rounds for me.
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm not sure which point, exactly, you are having trouble with. If you can email me with details, I'd love to help you. :-) You can click the contact me tab on the left. :-)
DeleteIf this is a pattern that you printed out a few weeks ago, there was a typo which I have since fixed, so if you double check the instructions on your printed sheet vs. the ones here now, that MIGHT help solve the problem.
Honestly, this stitch was a bit challenging for me at first, but after a couple of times with trial and error, I got it down. :-)
Please feel free to email me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks!
hi! i printed this pattern the beginning of november and have been excited to use it. i'm having problems with steps 5 and 6 and i don't know how else to reach you. i've double and triple checked what i printed vs. what's on the page and it all matches.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!
DeleteI figured out what the problem was... I accidentally copied my rough draft with all of the mistakes, instead of the final draft of the pattern. I REALLY messed it up! I'm so sorry!
I think it is finally fixed, now. I just re-worked it again and made the corrections as I worked it. If you spot any more problems, please let me know. Turns out row 11 was wrong, too. :-/
thank you soooo much! I can't wait to try it again! thank you for taking the time to fix it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for bringing it to my attention! I can't believe how much I messed up the pattern! *embarrassed* I worked it through (with many interruptions from my 3 youngest), and it came out for me, but if you see any mistakes please let me know. :-)
DeleteI love your bracelet. It would look very sophisticated in black, or gold, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Susie! I love the stitch pattern for this. It would make a lovely shawl or even a scarf, too. Thanks for sharing at Hookin On Hump Day!
