Turk Knot Bracelet from Scrap Yarn or Fabric

You are here: Home / Turk Knot Bracelet from Scrap Yarn or Fabric

March 9, 2012 By Rose Fine Crafts 5 Comments

In the mood for a project? How about some fashion jewelry?  Let this Turk Knot Bracelet tutorial inspire you and make a couple of them for you and your friends.  These bracelets make great gifts!

 

Handmade Jewelry with a Nautical Look

Your jewelry can not get much  more trendy than with this wrist Turk Knot Bracelet.  I personally love nautical jewelry as it goes so well with my blue-white stripe obsession!  I have an anchor necklace, and steering wheel earrings, and a Turk Knot Bracelet like this just finishes the set so nicely.   To accentuate the nautical look, you’ll have to use either  cotton cord, or use an off-white yarn for this project.

 

Choose Right Size Bracelet for Your Wrist

Tip: Yes, materials matter. When using stretchy material such as recycled fabric, elastic cord, t-shirt yarn, or knitted i-cord, be sure to make it slightly tighter than you’d like it to be, as the material will stretch over time making your bracelet bigger / too big.

In contrast, when using pure wool-roven for this Turk head knot bracelet, be sure to make it quite a bit larger than you’d like it to eventually be, as the material will shrink over time, and become more felted.

 

The 1,2,3 Quick How-to

1. Loop cord twice around a block / tube the size of your wrist.

2. For 3rd loop, twist existing 2 cord strands once and slide 3rd strand in between.  (see image)

3. Repeat till finished 2 full rounds and the knot has 2 strings on either side of the forming V pattern.

Really easy to make.

    Hi Kristen, I think a target length of 4 x around your wrist is a good starting point. Yes to i-cord, as per the suggestions in the article. As you will be making the i-cord yourself, I’d leave it unfinished and start weaving it to create the knot.. then adjust the length when you know exactly how long. Do keep in mind that materials REALLY have an effect: if you use 100% wool, your bracelet WILL FELT. Meaning, it will become significantly smaller. However, if you use other kind of yarn that has a percentage of elastic in them, your bracelet WILL STRETCH. Meaning, it will become significantly bigger.

    Kristen, I intend to make this into a pattern for my list of handmade Christmas gifts of < $5 to make. Sign up for the newsletter to ensure you'll be notified.
