Project #4 - Oh-so-simple wrap bracelet

Busy days call for quick projects, but I did manage to squeak this one in!   In perusing simple projects online, I kept coming across this simple wrap bracelet.  So.  Simple.  Seriously.  There isn't even a pattern, well, I guess there is somewhere, but certainly not one you need to be going by to make this versatile little beauty.  I used the light cotton yarn that has a bit of sheen to it, it's a really pretty sapphire color that didn't photograph as well as it looks in person!   Very lightweight, perfect for spring/summer...if it ever gets warm again here.  *sigh*

Super easy.  Start with your choice of yarn or string, the chain a good 160cm or so, then turn and skip one chain and add three single crochet into the next stitch.  Continue to slip stitch in each bottom loop all the way back to the beginning.  Once you get to the beginning, chain a few stitches to allow for a loop to fasten to your desired button.  Tie off the loop, weave in the ends, and sew the little button onto the end where you made the 3 single crochets.  That's it.  You have an awesome wrap bracelet that can even double as a necklace.  Great way to add a little color for summer without spending a fortune!
