Bangles or bracelets are the perfect addition to any outfit and always eye-catching. Here I show you a special method for quickly and easily making stylish bangles with just a little material.

in black and white), cheerful and summery (colorful in pastel shades), etc.

To make it, you’ll need a 3.5 mm crochet hook, scissors, a darning needle, and rico design creative bubble yarn in two colors (less than 50 g total).

With this craft project, you can be creative , because you alone decide which colors you want to use and in what order. It is definitely colorful—exactly as colorful as you want it to be. And it makes you feel cheerful while crocheting it, and later too, when you can find your craft supplies neatly organized inside it.

It’s a lovely weekend project—guaranteed relaxing , and you’ll make quick progress because the technique is very uncomplicated. The crochet pattern is also very well suited for crochet beginners. I hope you enjoy the project—yours, Ina
