Crochet Pattern: Button Cuff Bracelet
By A Guest Writer – 18 Comments| A Guest Post by Karen Vaughn.
I get easily distracted, especially when it comes to crocheting. This pattern came to me in 30 minutes which just happens to be the length of time for my evening news broadcast. I used brown yarn because it was closest at hand and I had this wonderful wooden button just hanging out in the pocket of my hoodie. Buttons tend to hang out in my pockets a lot! Enjoy!

Karen is a stay-at-home mom with 4 children, 2 dogs, and a wonderful husband that puts up with her crafting and his lack of space in the closet. And buttons really do tend to hang out in her pockets.
SUPER CUTE!!!!! I can’t wait to try it!
Perfect! You can really match your outfits. And if you have Grandma’s button box like I do, there are a lot of old style buttons to use. You can even use variegated or different yarns for multicolored bracelets. And since you can make it to size, it won’t slide off or get in your way like bangle bracelets. The button would make a perfect decoration at the top of your wrist.
Love it! And I was just looking for a headband pattern… this will work nicely for that as well. 🙂
I was thinking of a headband also, and its so simple. Thanks so much for sharing! : )
I love this….I purchased a several polymer clay button a couple of years ago just because I loved them….I knew I would eventually have a reason to use them!!! lol Thanks for the great pattern.
Thank you all! I really hope you enjoy it!
Real cute design! Do tell me Karen ,how do you formulate the instructions on paper ?do you write them line by line or all later? Iam asking as I create new designs often but would like to have the instructions for later records.i would really appreciate some help.
All your patterns are great, just not enough time to do all. Thanks for sharing.

Cute pattern. I love how you say buttons hang out in your pockets often, for me it’s stray scraps of yarn I leave behind after making flowers for my shop. 😉
I write them line by line actually, not really sure how else to do it. Any suggestions by anyone else?
If making any for other people whose sizes are unknown how do you figure out sizes?
Hi I made a few of these and one my son wears is army pattern and the other I haven’t worn yet but his has started to curl up on the sides is there anything I can do to prevent that from hapening ?
@Stephanie
Blocking will help with this. Just like a doily has to be blocked and then re-blocked after a time.
Hope that helps!
@Kathy
Sizing can be done by using a measuring tape to get their wrist size or by using a marked piece of yarn. Also standard wrist sizes can be found online.
@Stephanie: in addition to blocking you can try a sc border around the bracelet. Then it’ll be longer between reblocking
Hello! I see this post is a little old, but I was searching around for crochet bracelet patterns and was wondering if I could sell the bracelets I make from this?
I’ll be helping with a fundraiser this September (2013) and was wondering if I could sell these? It’s for Cornerstone Autism Center here in town. The proceeds will go to them.
Please let me know either here or via email. [email protected]
Thank you!
Hi Kelly, yes you can sell the finished crocheted items that you make using any Crochet Spot patterns. Feel free to learn more about it here: Crochet Pattern Copyrights
I think that’s a great idea! Thanks for picking my pattern as one that you might possibly use. I wish you much success in your fundraising!
