Crochet Bracelet

Hello everyone! Happy New Year! With these dreary winter months I have been trying to incorporate some bright summer colors into my wardrobe. Here is a free, extremely easy, quick, and cute crochet pattern! It goes with everything and adds just a little more detail without sacrificing comfort in anyway. So, to the pattern! 

Supplies

Cotton Weaving Yarn: My mom has a TON of this stuff from her art collage days, it is so good to craft with. I picked 4 colors that I liked the look of.... I think embroidery floss or any kind of thin yarn would work well if you don't have any of this.
