It’s easy to make this Queen Anne’s lace bracelet. It’s crochet with thread which keeps it delicate and it’s easy to make in multiple colors.
I’ve been seeing this queen anne’s lace pattern on all sorts of pieces lately, scarfs mostly, but also some bookmarks as well as a headband.
Then I saw this silver bracelet and fell in love! Since mine isn’t metal it’s not a cuff, as it wouldn’t hold it’s shape. So I made it a full circle!
It took a half dozen tries to figure out a pattern and size that would work. It was worth it!
I’ve made it in 4 colors so far, and wear one of them all the time! I love them! Black, cream, red and now this brown one.
The pattern itself is pretty quick and easy, the last few rows, connecting the ends creating the circle is the tricky part, but I feel great about how I do it. I hope it’s easy for you to follow!

I have the cuff pinned as well. I wondered if I starched the piece, if I could wear it as a cuff as well?
Ashlee
Probably??? I’ve used stiffy for a few other thread crochet projects, but I’m not the biggest fan of cuffs anyway so I didn’t bother trying. I’m sure you could though!
terry
bonsoir,
j’aurais avant tout voulut lui faire mes compliments pour le bracelet en dentelle ,il est super …mais est ce qu’il existe un video ….je prefere la pratique à la théorie…merci beaucoup
Ashlee
thank you, but no, I don’t do video, just write patterns. I’m so sorry.
June
I love your Queen Ann’s Lace bracelet! It must be nice to have the talent that you do. I would give anything if I knew how to crochet but, have tried it & I am all “fingers”!!!
Ashlee
I tried ones years ago and couldn’t get it, then I tried again a few years later it it just clicked! If you find anyone on etsy who can crochet for you you can send them this pattern to have them make one for you
Cheryl
I love it! I still don’t think my skills can do this but I want one!
Ashlee
now you HAVE to come up and visit me and we’ll crochet together and I’ll help you make one!
Affordable Wonders
Hi I’ve made similar bracelets and have used Fabric Stiffener to turn them into cuffs. Works great just water down a little saturate your piece then wrap around soda can or water bottle etc and let dry 🙂
Love this bracelet will be making a few myself 🙂
Ashlee
I’ve used stiffy before on thread crochet stuff and liked it, but I’m not the biggest fan of cuffs, and like it soft and comfortable anyway so that’s why I didn’t bother going that way. But if you do let me know!
holly ll
It is gorgeous! I love all of those colors. I really need to learn how to crochet!
Ashlee
Thanks Holly! I love your bracelets as well! I’ve never tried printable shrinky dink material, I’m going to have to get some to play with.
Rebecca Smith
This is beautiful Ashlee!! I love lace and how amazing that you can actually MAKE THAT!
Ashlee
Thank you so much!!! I think the challenge has gone really well this time!
Janny
This is great! I saw that bracelet on pinterest and loved it! I bet you could make it stiff with starch or something too. Thanks for this pattern.
Ashlee
I’m sure you could, I like softer bracelets to cuffs myself so I didn’t bother trying.
Brittany
Beautiful!
Ashlee
Thank you!
Celia
Hermoso, voy a tratar de realizarla. Graciassssss
Ashlee
Thank you and good luck!
Merri
What size thread?
Ashlee
10, normal, easy to find and buy thread! I’ll add it to the pattern, thanks for asking!
Megan Brooke
Wow, this is too cute! You’re a pro crocheter! I tried learning once, but it just never caught on. :/ Really love the brown one!
Ashlee
Thanks! I’ve been doing it for quite awhile, but I like working with thread more than yarn most of the time, i love the small detailed work! I agree, the brown and tan are my favorites, but the black and red get worn more with my wardrobe!
Tahira
I really need to learn how to crochet!
Ashlee
I agree, everyone should learn how in my opinion!!! There are so many fun things out there, and it doesn’t take long!
elenor
thank you so much for figuring out the pattern and sharing it with us! I already knew the picture from etsy and i really loved it. now i can try to make one myself! your pictures were also very helpful, thanks! the tip with wrapping it around a waterbottle is also very clever! i found your pin on pinterest!
greetings!
elenor
Ashlee
Thanks so much! I’m not into stiff jewelry, that why my version goes all the way around, but the water bottle trick is great if you want to create a cuff like the picture!
Steff
I have a question about this pattern. I just decided to try it out and i just started but i don’t understand something in the instructions. At the beginning after you make the ring of ch8, the next instruction says “working in the ring” do you mean working inside the big lumen of the ring or in the stitches that make up the ring?
Ashlee
inside the big lumen of the ring. Not in the stitches. There will be lots of room left over, but as you work the rest of the pattern you’ll see that it matches up just fine! Have fun and good luck!
Steff
thank you, i’ll give it another try tomorrow 🙂
Ashlee
It’s definitely one of those patterns that doesn’t make a lot of sense until you try it, at least for me… I played with a bit before attempting my first bracelet. the really tricky part is connecting the ends! Let me know if you have any other questions! Have fun!
Steff
I just finished the bracelet ^_^ it came out perfect! i did it in a dark red/ burgundy and yes connecting those last ends were a bit tricky but once i took my time and read carefully, lol it’s was simple enough. It was my first time using this small thread since i’m a beginner using the large yarn but i’m very very happy with the results 🙂 thank you for the pattern and the help!
Ashlee
I’m so glad it worked out for you! I’m SO glad that you were able to work out the connecting parts! I always get nervous with writing patterns! I know what I MEAN, but am always nervous it won’t make sense to anyone else!
sherri
i made this today in gold it turned out beautiful, thanks for the pattern
Ashlee
I’m SO glad! I’ve been wanting to try the metallic thread. Do you love it?
Verna
I pinned the cuff to see if I could copy it, now I don’t have to. Thanks. I will be making a few of these.
Ashlee
I hope you like it! I wish I knew how they got theirs in silver… So lovely!
[email protected]
What a wonderful bracelet. I would love to make this when I need a fun break from sewing my aprons. I am pinning this to Pinterest to help spread work of your wonderful work there. Thanks! Megan
Ashlee
Thanks so much! Let me know what you think when you take that break!
emy
What method did you use to stiffen the cuff?
Ashlee
I didn’t… If you read the post the stiff one is the INSPIRATION piece, my bracelet is soft and loose
Susan Jakobsen
Thank you so much for sharing the pattern. I am going to make this, and post a picture here when I am done.
It is really pretty. I crochet earrings with thread, and have ventured into making bracelets. But, if I do make this, it will only be for my family.
Ashlee
Thanks so much! I hope you don’t find it too hard! I gets a little tricky at the end!
Cherrie
I am having trouble with this bracelet. I get to row three and then I get lost. Are the *’s saying repeat? And do you crochet ten in the same spot? Could please give me a little more detail. I really love this bracelet! Thank you so much..
Ashlee
kay, lets see if I can help! this is kind of tricky, but with a little patience you’ll totally get it…
I use the 1sc, ch2 instead of ch3, I feel it’s sturdier, so I use the ** around it to kind of visually hold it together as a stitch.
Then the second set of ** is repeating! I guess I should choose something else to hold the first section together…
does that at ALL make any sense? in any way?
Ashlee
crap I forgot to answer your second question
the “*ch2, 1dc in same space, 1dc in next space* ten times” notice it says next space… it’s constantly moving over a stitch during the repeat!
f. aquino
love love love!!!
Ashlee
I’m glad you like it! I love mine still!
Nailya
Hi! I’m amazed at how you can make things from scratch, so to speak. I couldn’t find a nice pattern for Queen Anne’s lace anywhere else. This is a beautiful bracelet. I made one myself and a necklace too from your pattern. I also tried to create a diagram or chart and posted it to my blog here:
I hope you don’t mind!
I guess i used a thicker thread than the your pattern suggests because I only had to make 6 shells instead of 8 before finishing the bracelet. Or maybe my wrists are so thin (yeah, right, with all the pregnancy swelling going on!).
Ashlee
You did a great job! I’m glad you found my pattern and blog. And your necklace looks great! I’m glad you took the time to create a diagram, I’ve been meaning to, but just haven’t taken the time, I don’t mind at all! I use the crochet thread in the crochet isle, I think it’s weight 10?
Julia
Two questions:
-Would this be considered a very advanced pattern? I’m really, REALLY new to crocheting but I’d like to try this.
-Is there a video tutorial for this somewhere?
Ashlee
yes, an advanced patter, with q few tricky spots. But if you go slow and read carefully you might be able to do it. and no video, sorry.
Steph
Hi Ashlee, the bracelet is gorgeous, may I know the material of the thread?
Pure wool or something else? ‘Cause the silver one seems can “stand up” by itself.
I wonder if I use cotton lace thread, will it be too soft?
Thank you in advance.
Ashlee
I used cotton thread, the silver bracelet I BASED it on is SILVER, that’s why its standing on it’s own. It’s silver, the metal… The ones I made are cotton and totally flexible.
Julia
I’m having trouble with row three as well. I can’t get the loopy edges to form. I’m getting a straight edge with a V pattern inside. When it says ‘next space’, do I count the chain spaces, or only the tr spaces?
Thanks!
Ashlee
you should be working in the CH space, not in the tr stitches. let me know if that helps
Julia
Ohhhhh. Silly me! Thanks for the clarification! Haha this pattern was what inspired me to pick up crochet in the first place; now I’ve finally worked my way up to be able to crochet this!
Ashlee
I hope you like it as much as I do.
Erika
Hi im sorry to bother you. this is a very pretty pattern and i love it so im trying to do it myself but im stuck in row 8. I did connect the third fan to the second fan’s picot in row 7 but now that i have completed all of the trebels in row 8 im on the opposite side of where i connected to the picot in row 7 so i dont know how im supposed to connect it once again. help please and thank you.
Ashlee
that’s how rows work, then end on every other side 😉 connect row 8 to the first shell, skip next picot (from row 6) and 1 dc into next ch2 picot space
Stephanie
I had a blast trying this one out! I’m new to using crochet thread and it took me a long time to get the tension right so my stitches weren’t too loose! I ended up using size 10 thread with a 1.6mm needle, so my cuff was definitely too big!! I think that I would either need to cut out some of the fans or adjust the stitches to make it a little smaller. Of course, I belatedly realized that in the picot rows, I was adding extra ch 2s (so it went dc, ch2, dc, ch2, etc..) which actually gives it a little more of a ruffled look!
This was an absolutely beautiful pattern, even though it didn’t quite work out for me on my first try! I may go pick up a smaller needle and try again!
Thank you!
Ashlee
I love crocheting with thread! I’m glad you like it and let me know if try it again how it goes!
shalini
hi Ashlee,
that is a lovely pattern. i do have a doubt..row 8 the last DC is into the picot from row 3 is it ? i found if i had to crochet into picot from 6 the project folds over…
thank you so much for posting this
Ashlee
make sure your counting which picot to dc into, it’s how the work connects, if youdon’t connect to row 6your fan won’t work
delanoue
J adore vos bracelets je vais essaye
Ashlee
Thank you so much!
Lorna
Such a lovely pattern…i just finished mine and absolutely love it! Thanks so much, look forward to seeing more of your art 🙂
Ashlee
I’m so glad you like it! I really love this one, and made myself like 8 in all different colors!
Linda McTavish
Love Love Love this pattern. Have just finished my first one in a silver thread and it is beautiful. I live in the UK and as our crotchet terms are different had to change every stitch! Was not put off by this and glad I persevered. Thank you so much for your pattern. Linda from Scotland.
Ashlee
I’ve translated my fair share from UK to english, so I know how annoying it can be! I’m so glad you liked it!
Emily Youngker
Oh please help! I’m on shell 9 and I cannot understand how to connect it to the first shell. It says ” dc in sc of row 3 from first shell”. What sc?? If the picture is supposed to help, it’s not helping me!
Totally love this and would love to finish it!
Thanks!
Emily Youngker
I think I figured it out.
Ashlee
oh good! I’m so glad you figured it out!
Ashlee
connecting them is by far the trickiest part of the whole thing. try picturing it like your adding another shell again, picture the connection points of the other shells, that is where you’ll be connecting to the first 2 shells. Sorry I can’t be more help without seeing it. I tried my best to show it in pictures.
Erzsebet from Your Crochet World
I’m definitely going to make this crochet bracelet -shared on twitter as well 🙂
Ashlee
thank you so much for sharing! And I hope you enjoy making it!
Kay S.
I’m a little confused on row 3. I saw a previous question about this row, but it didn’t quite answer my question. When you move over a stitch, does that include the ch1 between the tr stitches of the previous row? Or do we skip the ch1 and just go to the top of the next tr stitch?
Ashlee
Row three doesn’t say “move over a stitch” that I can see (it’s been a long time since I made this so I’m hoping I’m understanding your question) it constantly says “space” which is that ch1 area between the tr’s. Does that help?
row 3- turn, work *1sc, ch2* in the first space (counts as first dc), *ch2, 1dc in same space, 1dc in next space* ten times. ch5, skip three spaces, 1dc in last tr (3rd chain)
Natasha
Hi, I think I made a wrong turn somewhere and I’ve ended up with a scalloped flower which ends on the opposite end. Do I end the pattern there and begin with a fresh chain loop on the other side as a connector? I’m afraid I haven’t explained this well enough.Any advice, please?
Ashlee
I’m sorry, I’m having a hard time understanding where you ended up, can you send me a picture and I can help better?
Sonja
This is a beautiful pattern! I want to crochet one long enough to make a cowl/necklace. I have one question though: is the pattern written with British or American crochet terminology? Thank you.
Ashlee
american
Vita
Dear Ashlee..
I just bought your pdf pattern, do you have the Stitch Chart picture of the pattern??
My English is limited and I cannot follow the instructions, i can only read a Crochet instruction in Stich Chart.
And thank you for the tutorial, this pattern is awesome.
Eta
Hello Ashlee,
Is it OK for you when I translate the pattern for this beautiful bracelet in Dutch and publish it at my blog?
Thank you so much!
Eta
Ashlee Marie
No it’s not
