Beaded Picture Crochet - Flared Retro Geometrics Cuff (CH0367)

Today we have a beaded picture crochet cuff bracelet. It is based on a variation of the previous Retro Geometrics bracelet (CH0366).

This is one of the advantages of having carefully graphed the first pattern. Even by varying the colours alone, the result can be quite different.

Of course the top beaded edgings and the very flared “frills” at the lower end help create a totally different look, feel, and aura to the whole piece.
