To begin, cast on 5 stitches. -
Row 1: Knit 5.Advertisement

Row 2: Purl 5. Alternating knit and purl rows creates the Stockinette. On the right side, this stitch looks like a series of V's. The wrong side is bumpy, and resembles the Garter stitch.
-
Repeat rows 1 and 2 until the bracelet is the required length.
-
On a knit row, cast off. Leave a six inch tail.
-
Thread the tail on to a wool needle and seam up the cast on and cast off row together using a duplicate stitch.
-
Thread a 18 inch (45.7 cm) piece of yarn onto the thread needle. Tie a double knot with the yarn and sew the seams together with a simple whipstitch.
-
Weave in all ends.
-
Finished.
