Braided Crochet

We all do little fun things here and there with yarn that small and quick projects. Today I created fun little crocheted and then braided bracelets. 

I basically started by chaining 6 to 8 chains, 

Sc first row, turn and sc1 then chain 20-30 and sc back, slip stitching into the original piece. Repeat this step twice and then braid the crotchet tentacles. After you have it braided, pick up the same crochet hook and crochet the ends together in the new order you have it arranged. Crochet a couple more rows and bind off. 

You can use a button closure, or your favorite jewelry findings to clasp the ends together. For bracelets I like the magnetized ends that snap to each other. 

It looks better in the multi colored matched with coordinating solid color yarn. 

Here it is with variegated green yarn.
