Crochet pattern with a summer feeling

Details & pattern

I designed this little bag especially for my vacation, and it’s a wonderful companion at the beach.

It has room for the essentials, and I think that, especially in summer, there’s nothing nicer than the feeling of lightness.

PET bottle bangle bracelets - modern, colorful, and casual!
Bangles or bracelets are the perfect addition to any outfit and always an eye-catcher. Here I’ll show you a special method for quickly and easily making stylish bangles with just a little material.

All you need is an old PET bottle, some yarn, and, for a bit of glamour, a piece of rhinestone chain - and in no time you’ll have a truly unique piece of jewelry. Also great as a gift or small present.

You can combine the bangles however you like. Whether you wear just one bangle (perhaps a bit wider), two, or several bangles at the same time - they’re always a real eye-catcher.
Depending on which colors you use, these pieces of jewelry can look elegant (e.g., in black and white), cheerfully summery (colorful in pastel shades), etc.

No metal, flexible, and featherlight - making them super comfortable to wear.
Materials used: plastic from PET bottles, cotton yarn (Catania Grande by Schachenmayr), rhinestone chain, jewelry glue.

The bangles are washable at 30 degrees in a laundry bag.

>>> to the pattern <<<

The Ocean Beach shawl is an ingeniously crocheted triangular shawl that is not quite so pointed and can easily be varied in size.

The pattern is richly illustrated and also suitable for ambitious beginners with basic knowledge.
