PATTERN NOTES

Make two spirals for each bracelet, the first in black and the second in blacklight [peacock]. Length can be adjusted by adding extra chains to the beginning chain. Try on as you are crocheting the bracelet and fasten off at desired length, remembering to add 3/4 inch to finished length for clasp and jump ring. Any unused chains can be undone before adding jewelry hardware.

ASSEMBLY

Starting at the beg of row, hold the beg ends of both Spirals tog and start twisting them around each other until the 2 are joined tog. Using blacklight [peacock] 8-inch tail, join 2 spirals tog and weave in tail. With black tail add clasp with 3 overhand knots, weave in tail and trim. Attach 8-inch length of black on opposite end of bracelet and add jump ring.
