Braided Cable Bracelet
Free Knit Pattern

This braided cable bracelet is a fun and quick accessory, and a great way to practice cables. In addition to the written pattern, there are lots of process photos and video! It can be made with a seam, or it can be grafted together using the Kitchener stitch to make a continuous bracelet. You can even make it really long to make a headband!!

Getting Started:
This pattern uses a provisional cast on and Kitchener stitch to make it appear seamless. If you prefer, you can use another cast on method, and bind off at the end, then just seam the bracelet together when it is the proper length, if you do not mind a seam.
The photos of in this pattern are labeled with the yarn and needle info for each sample, in case you want to duplicate any of them.
