DIY Marvel Bracelet

I made this Marvel Bracelet a while ago for a friend but forgot to put it on my blog. This took me a while to make but nowhere near as long as the DIY Spiderman Bracelet took. This is due to the much simpler pattern and less colours. Also the Marvel Bracelet has less strings therefore less knots.

The pattern i found had to be adapted to make it small enough to be bracelet size. I have the adapted pattern for this somewhere.... I'll have to dig it out. 16 background strings were used (14 of which were white 2 of which were red) and a red skein for the main colour. The loop and tails of the buckle are made with macramé square knots as discussed in my Spiderman Bracelet Blog.


The pattern that I based the bracelet on can be found Here

The reason that this bracelet is not completely rectangle and is sort of wavy at the edges is because I accidentally used two different types of skein. If one string is slightly different in thickness to another then this is what happens. Rookie mistake!
