Quick Project Steps

If you’re looking for a simple, delicate bracelet that you can wear everyday, the Cable Knit Bracelet is a great choice. This bracelet has a thin, comfortable design that makes it perfect for everyday wear.
1. Put on a stop bead using a size 12 needle on about 5 feet of thread. Pick up a Minos bead and then thread through the center of an Arcos bead. Add on 3 seed beads and sew through the top hole of the Arcos. Go down through another Arcos bead on the end making sure the arch is the opposite direction of the first bead. Add on 3 seed beads and thread back down the center hole of the Arcos. Add on another Minos and continue the pattern.
2. Watch the Cable Knit bracelet tutorial to follow along with Allie as she shows you how to finish the pattern and add a cup button to the end.
3. Decorate the outside of the project with seed beads and Potomac crystal rondelles. Form a loop of seed bead at the end for the cup button.
This Cable Knit Bracelet really shows of the Arcos and Minos beads. The crystals give it a little bit of sparkle. You could easily stitch a longer strip to make a cute wrap bracelet.

I love everything about Potomac beads, except for the dragon fire white thread. I bought the time before it was a 250 spool and I bought 5 pound because the 6 pound I had was just humongous you've done some changing with your threads since the last time I bought some. I fell and broke my right arm and my rotator cuff and wasn't able to be for quite a while. I just pulled out the 5 pound white thread. I bought the time before and tried it. I don't even think I could bezel with it. The 6 pound does beautiful. I took one arm span of thread off the spool and I won't be using it. It's a shame because I truly love yours thread.
