  • Crochet hook: 2.5 mm or 3.0 mm
  • Scissors
  • Yarn needle
  • Optional: small button or beads

Crochet Stitches Used

This Crochet pattern uses only basic stitches, making it beginner-friendly and stress-free. You do not need advanced techniques to complete this bracelet successfully.

Stitches used:

  • Chain (ch)
  • Slip stitch (sl st)
  • Single crochet (sc)
  • Half double crochet (hdc)
  • Double crochet (dc)

If you already know chain and single crochet, you will be able to follow this pattern comfortably. The small motifs are simple and fun to practice.

Step 1: Crochet the Bracelet Base

Start by creating a slip knot and chaining approximately 55–65 chains, depending on wrist size. Wrap the chain around your wrist to check the fit before continuing. The bracelet should sit comfortably without being tight.

Once the desired length is reached, add 15–20 extra chains for adjustable ties. This creates the string ends visible in the photo. Fasten off and cut the yarn.

Your bracelet base is now complete. Set it aside while you work on the beach-themed appliqués. This simple chain base keeps the focus on the decorative elements.

Step 2: Crochet the Starfish Appliqué

Using blue yarn, start with a magic ring. Work 10 single crochets into the ring and join with a slip stitch.

For each arm of the starfish: chain 4, slip stitch in the second chain from the hook, single crochet, half double crochet, slip stitch into the next base stitch. Repeat this five times to form five arms.

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. The starfish should be small and slightly textured, just like the one shown in the bracelet photo.

Step 3: Crochet the Shell Appliqué

With white yarn, begin with a magic ring. Into the ring, work single crochet, half double crochet, 3 double crochets, half double crochet, single crochet.

Pull the ring tight to form a shell shape and fasten off. Slightly curve the piece with your fingers to give it a natural shell appearance.

This simple shell adds elegance and balance to the bracelet and works beautifully as a center element.

Step 4: Crochet the Seahorse Appliqué

Using beige yarn, chain 12. Starting from the second chain from the hook, work single crochets along the chain.

At the end, create a small curl by working 3 single crochets in the last stitch. Continue working back along the chain with slip stitches to create a curved seahorse shape.

Fasten off, leaving a long tail. This minimalist seahorse design keeps the pattern beginner-friendly while still being visually interesting.

Lay the bracelet base flat and position the appliqués in your desired order. The photo shows a balanced layout with space between each motif.

Using a yarn needle, sew each appliqué securely onto the chain base. Make sure stitches are tight but not visible on the front.

Once all pieces are attached, weave in all loose ends neatly. Your beach-inspired crochet bracelet is now complete.

Customization Ideas

This Crochet pattern is highly customizable. You can change the colors to match different outfits or seasons, such as pastel tones or bold summer shades.

Try adding small beads between motifs or replacing the appliqués with hearts, flowers, or initials. You can also make matching anklets or necklaces using the same technique.

Creating sets is a great way to explore creativity while keeping the project simple and relaxing.
