Tunisian Crochet Bracelet in Wire and Yarn FREE Pattern by Kristin Omdahl

Tunisian Crochet Bracelet in Wire and Yarn FREE Pattern by Kristin Omdahl

This is an interesting project: I combined very fine gauge wire (32 gauge) with fine yarn (fingering weight bamboo Be So Fine Yarn) and created a fiber that makes GORGEOUS jewelry. It is softer on your hands than working with straight wire, and has a ton more structure and body that a piece in just yarn – the best of both worlds!
