I have wanted to try wire crochet and looked at many books but was too intimidated. Your tutorial pictures make me believe that even I could do this bracelet. Hi Kathy, the wb stands for with bead, so a chWB stitch is simply a chain stitch that includes a bead. I did make one, but was having a hard time with the wire. Thank you so much for such a great tutorial! Erm… I guess practice! The thinner the wire the easier it is to work with as well so you could try that, but really I think it just takes a little while to get used to the different feel and tension of wire.

I love this tutorial, thanks!

Wire Crocheting: What You’ll Need

Just wondering if you allow people to recreate and sell this item? I am happy for you to sell any items you make from my patterns, I only ask that design credit be given to me and that the pattern itself not be reproduced or sold. Naomi, I love this bracelet but how do keep the wire from breaking? Especially when putting it on and taking it off, seems to me if you keep bending it around your wrist it would eventually crack in places.

Hi Lori, The wire you use should be a good quality craft or jewellery wire that is made for this kind of wear. Having loose wire that is longer than 18 inches 46 cm can cause the wire to get tangled or kink. It is also a safety hazard; someone could trip over it or it can injure someone. Calculate the wire length that you will need for the pattern or size of your job.

It is best to use one single length of wire for the entire piece. Don't waste excess wire or end up cutting the length of wire too short to complete your piece. Keep the wire rolled up in its original spool and keep it as close to you as you can. If the spool is too big roll a sufficient amount of wire onto a smaller spool or wind it into a small loop that you can hold with your hand.

Crochet Wire Bracelet Tutorial

Cut out a 18 - 24 inch strand of wire. You will have to practice holding the wire and needle in a way that the wire won't bend unnecessarily until you are comfortable and feels natural. Although, the principle of crocheting with yarn and wire is similar, wire behaves differently. You will find that even though you may have experience crocheting yarn, the properties of wire will require you to handle it differently.

Do not wind the wire on your pinkie or bend it around your forefinger. Wire hardens slightly when it is bent and can also create kinks that will make your pattern sloppy and uneven. Hold the wire straight between your forefinger and middle finger sliding it instead. Pinch the end with your thumb and the other two fingers pulling just enough to create the tension needed to keep the wire straight from the spool. To maintain the tension needed for good even stitches you must secure the spool allowing it to slowly unwind and reel it in towards you using your forefinger and middle-finger.

You are now ready to cast on and begin to crochet. Tie a slip knot.
