1. Easy Knitted Bangle

Add some bohemian charm to your next outfit with these beautiful bangle accessories. The pattern is worked in the round using stockinette stitch. It works with the natural tendency of stockinette stitch to want to curl in on itself, so you don’t need to tuck a premade bangle inside for extra structure. The design is available in 3 different sizes to fit a variety of wrist widths.

2. Knitter’s Wrap Bracelet

Many knit bracelet patterns make use of knit icord to deliver stunning style, including this adorable double wrap design. These projects are ideal for knitting in front of the tv or while listening to your favorite podcast, because they are so mindless. A self-striping yarn with quick color changes makes this project even more satisfying to work up.

3. Simple Little Something

I absolutely adore this button up cuff design with its textured stitch pattern, its chic square wooden buttons, and the subtle color shifts of the yarn. The pattern calls for knit and purl stitches as well as purl 3 togethers. I have seen similar styles of bracelets that have little pockets in them for your debit card advertised before and I bet that it would be easy enough to adapt this design to do the same.

4. Knitted Knot Bracelet

Thick strands of knit icord are twisted together to form this knot bracelet. The pattern calls for a medium weight yarn so the bracelet turns out quite chunky and eye-catching. Knot style bracelets always make me think of nautical things, so they’re perfect for a sunny summer day spent wasting time at your favorite beach.

5. Stash Bracelet

One of the biggest upsides of knit bracelet patterns is how very little yarn they call for. If you have lots of little balls of yarn leftover from other projects, then designs like these are perfect for using them up. The pattern for this multicolor double wrap design calls for just knit and purl stitches worked in the round.

6. Perdita

Stunning lace stitchwork and tiny beads make this pretty cuff an absolute show stopper. The style reminds me of Victorian era dress for some reason. Special techniques include adding seed beeds to your stitches, slip slip knits, and passing slipped stitches over. It calls for working with thread, but you could also likely get away with using a lace weight yarn.

7. Circlet Beaded Bracelet

Did you know that it’s possible to knit icord with beads? Learn the secrets behind this enticing technique with this simple yet stunning bracelet design. Adding a metal toggle to this bracelet really elevates the design from that basic arts and crafts feel to make it feel more polished and professionally made.

8. Snakeskin Bracelet

From far away this wide cuff style bracelet might look plain but that gorgeous understated texture will make you do a double take. The aptly named design calls for the snakeskin stitch which involves knit, purl, and slip stitches. I think the texture of the design also resembles chainmail a bit, which could be fun for a costume accessory.

9. Knitship Bracelets

This design strives to bring the nostalgic charm of the knotted friendship bracelets some of us made in grade school, hence the name “Knitship”. The pattern calls for stockinette stitch in the round. Using multiple colors of yarn as well as adding the bead on the end makes it feel even more like a traditional friendship bracelet.

10. Fair Isle Bangles

A simple stockinette stitch bangle gets a colorful upgrade with a simple floral fair isle motif. You could also opt to do the base design in a single color and then add the motifs with duplicate stitch embroidery instead. For this design, you will need to purchase a bangle to tuck inside, unless you already have one laying around the house.

11. Cabled Bracelets

Cables add classic charm to sweaters and scarves, so why not incorporate them into knit bracelet patterns too? There are two versions of this gorgeous design to choose from: a 2 over 2 cable stitch bracelet that measures 1″ wide and a 3 over 3 cable stitch bracelet that measures 1.5″ wide. And if you can’t decide then maybe you could just make both!

12. Button Bands

Do you have a plethora of novelty buttons in your craft stash? Put them to good use with these eclectic buttons bands. The garter stitch design is very straightforward and these colorful accessories make for great conversation starters too. If you don’t have a bunch of buttons on hand, then you could try the two color version instead, which requires only one button for fastening.

13. Band Cuffs

Two colors are twice the fun in this bright and punchy pattern for wide cuff bracelets. They are almost as much fun to make as they are to wear and show off. The pattern calls for knit, purl, and slip stitches. As you can see in the picture, there are a couple different styles to choose from. Which style will you decide to make?

14. MaryElla

Shiny thread and beads mesh together beautifully in this eye-catching bracelet design. You’ll string all the beads on at the beginning, and then slide them up as you need them, adding them in between knit stitches. The central row of the design features an easy eyelet lace made with knit 2 togethers and yarn overs. You can thread a pretty ribbon through this row if you so desire.

15. Wrap It Around Bracelet

Stacking multiple bracelets together is a neat style with bohemian vibes, but it can make it more challenging to coordinate colors. Plus, things tend to go missing like left socks in the dryer when you have more than one of something. This design solves that problem with a really long strand of knit icord that wraps six times around your wrist.

16. Simple Glamour

A simple strand of icord can make for a nice minimalist look, but two strands of icord are twice as nice when tied together with a reef knot. This bracelet design is particularly elegant in the metallic yarn the designer chose. It almost looks like strands of fine metal chains. You could also choose two different colors for each strand of icord to create a whole new look.

Knit bracelet patterns don’t get much easier than this stunning seed stitch bangle. The pattern is worked flat in back and forth rows with straight needles. It calls for just knit and purl stitches, so it is very beginner-friendly. The only thing is that you will need to purchase a bangle from the store for the insert, unless you happen to already have one laying around.

20. Paramount Cuff

Most knitting projects with a swirled design like this one would require two different colors of yarn, but this design uses seed beads to make the motif instead. The stitchwork itself is quite simple since it’s all garter stitch. Thin yarn and small needles are the keys to making this design look so delicate and delightful.

This bracelet design is worked widthwise, so it’s easy to adjust the finished length based on your unique wrist size. That also means that it’s easier to translate this design into other matching accessories like anklets or chokers. The pattern calls for knit, purl, and slip stitches along with yarn overs, knit 2 togethers, and PSSO’s.
