Crocheted Friendship Bands

This is one of those posts where I had set out to make something and ended up making something totally different (let’s say same concept, different utility) …funny … but I bet this must have happened to all of us at one point or the other …




So what was I attempting to make … ‘a RAKHI ‘… with Raksha Bandhan round the corner on 20st August … I thought it would be great to send some handmade crocheted Rakhi this time to my cousins … and ended up making a crocheted bracelet … but no regrets nevertheless as Friendship Day (Sunday , August 4) falls before Raksha Bandhan (Tuesday, August 20)  




a closer look ... 




I bet it did came out good n would fulfill the task of having fancy friendship band for a dear friend …





The more I was looking for boyish/guyish  pattern the more girly patterns I stumbled upon …







This pattern found over the internet is simple n easy to follow if you know how to read a chart n row numbers labeled 1,2,3 make it self-explanatory so as where to start n end.


Hook : US E/4-3.50 MM
Yarn: Vardhman Knitting Yarn


I do not know if the pattern called for adding the beads later but I did it my way and thread them before n kept adding them along the crocheting also the beads were tending to run on the reverse which I had to push n bring them to front just for once though n then they stayed there … also reduced the end loop size just to the button I used.


Enjoy Crocheting !!!

The Anticipation

The anticipation is killing me … Anticipating What? … My mum n my youngest sis are going to visit me …

…so the week ahead is going to be busy – shopping – catching up - eating out - busy as was the past week + weekend with all the cleaning n getting organized …

I have been so full of glee that nothing new is coming off the hook … though I did start with a bag (pattern found over the internet)

but exhilaration of planning their visit took over making me too impatient to finish it all the way through so just left it half way to be used as another pouch (one that I made before can be found here) but I must say this isn’t looking half bad(I feel) …




this one is done using hook –US E/4-3.50mm


Pattern:-




Enjoy Crocheting n see you next week!!!
