Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1/2 oz. sterling silver wire, 28 gauge (20 yds.)
• Size 2 steel crochet hook (2.25 mm)
• 2 sterling silver jump rings
• 1/2" sterling silver lobster clasp

1. Chain four and join with a slip stitch in the first chain. Work on the inside of the tube now and throughout. Chain one.

2. Single crochet in each chain around but do not join. Work in a spiral with the tube toward the left rotating away.

3. Take care not to crush the tube as it grows. Single crochet in each stitch around for Row 2.

4. Work in the back loop of each stitch, half double-crochet in each stitch around to make Row 3. The works appears to "jump" to the next row at the beginning of each row.

5. Repeat Row 3 until the tube measures 7 1/2" long. Push a pencil or knitting needle into the center of the tube to prevent it from flattening.

6. Work two rows of single crochet to finish. Fasten off. Weave the ends into the center of the tube.

7. Insert a jump ring into the center of the crochet at each end of the bracelet. Secure the lobster claw to one of the jump rings.
