Hi Ladies, here’s one of my favorite makes the Arewa Bracelet, a free pattern! This is a very fast and easy pattern that you could make yourself few wrist warmers in few minutes.
Recently, I am gravitating towards adding more easy to make items and this is one you’d love. This free Bracelet pattern is named to reflect a beautiful Lady, as Arewa means Beautiful.
The ridges created by the stitches use makes this even more appealing. I have added button to make putting this bracelet on and off much easier. Have you noticed the center part of the bracelet? I love the beauty created.
