Pattern Notes

You may need to adjust the number of blocks used to make the bracelet in order to fit your wrist. This is easily done by adding or subtracting a block. Try the bracelet on for size after the fifth block by wrapping it around your wrist. You’ll be able to determine if the bracelet will need one or two more blocks to fit.
