handmade rope multi wrap bracelets or choker style necklace 3528

A versatile casual accessory for summer 2015

A group of multi-wrap bracelets that just came off the rope machine.

Each one is a three ply rope with a cotton floss color accent and cork button.

Each kit is a made-to-order length with a loop placed at the specified length per customer preference.

 Shown here in the double wrap choker style necklace length.

A finished version looks like this.
A slightly thicker rope design looks like this.
An eye-splice loop design looks like this.

The color accents are very subtle. Each one of the three rope plys has a single strand of floss.

even more even part turks head knot bracelets 3514

Four part rope bracelets are the next order of complexity up from the traditional three part sailor bracelets and they offer a special design opportunity. The center overlap creates a place to run a colored accent cord through the void in the weave. Because the geometry of the knot has even parts the overlap falls in the actual center not to one side or the other.

Here are some other colors in this same design.
Here is the tutorial showing how to tie four part bracelets.

 15x4x2 weave design with tangerine (a popular color!)

7 1/2" (191 mm) circumference a convenient size for many people

 Purple - mysterious just like the endless knot pattern...

Note that these are 15 bight designs. If you tie an 11 bight design as shown in the tutorial your bracelet will come out smaller. If you increase to 19 bights it will be larger.

Quiz: why does the bight count increase by 4 each time?

 Scarlet - "red is best" and popular!

Almost any color can be used to accent the basic off-white bracelet.

Navy - a traditional favorite color for anything nautical
