Pearl Dot Bangle Free Crochet Pattern

Introduction

This Pearl Dot Bangle is a sweet little project for anyone who wants to wear their crochet, not just make it. It's a smooth, soft white tube worked in simple single crochet, then dotted with eight tiny pearl-grey bobbles for a preppy, beaded look. If you can single crochet and make a magic ring, you can make this bangle. It works up in under an hour, feels light and smooth on the wrist, and looks like a delicate beaded bracelet you bought at a boutique.

Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight (4) acrylic yarn — about 30 yards (27 m) soft white (Color A) and about 10 yards (9 m) pearl grey (Color B).
• Hook: 5 mm (H/8) crochet hook.
• Notions: Tapestry needle for seaming and attaching bobbles, scissors, a stitch marker (optional).
• Finished size: Bangle circumference 8 inches (20 cm), width 0.75 inches (2 cm); bobbles 0.4 inches (1 cm) in diameter.

Abbreviations

• ch — chain: yarn over and pull through the loop on your hook.
• sl st — slip stitch: insert hook, yarn over, pull through both the stitch and the loop on your hook.
• sc — single crochet: insert hook, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through both loops.
• inc — increase: work 2 single crochet into the same stitch.
• dec — decrease: work 2 single crochet together into one stitch.
• MR — magic ring: an adjustable loop you crochet into to start a closed circle.
• sts — stitches.

Gauge

16 single crochet and 16 rows = 4 inches (10 cm). Work a small swatch in single crochet and measure it; if your stitches are bigger than this, go down a hook size, and if they're smaller, go up a hook size.

Tips Before You Start

• Keep your single crochet tension even and slightly firm — a loose tube will stretch out of shape on the wrist.
• When you fold the tube flat to seam it, match the two open edges stitch for stitch so the ring stays round and smooth.
• Stuff each bobble only lightly with its yarn tail; overstuffing makes lumpy spheres that won't sit flat against the bangle.
• Lay the bobbles out around the bangle before sewing so you can space all eight evenly (about 1 inch apart).

Step-by-Step Instructions

Bangle Tube (Color A)

Ch 26, join with a sl st to the first ch to form a ring, being careful not to twist the chain.

Rnd 1: Sc in each ch around (26 sts).

Rnds 2–12: Sc in each st around (26 sts).

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for seaming. Fold the tube flat and whipstitch both open edges together to form a closed ring.

Bobbles (Color B) — make 8

Rnd 1: Work 6 sc into a magic ring (6 sts).

Rnd 2: Inc in each st around (12 sts).

Rnd 3: [Sc, dec] x4 (8 sts).

Rnd 4: Dec x4 (4 sts).

Stuff lightly with the yarn tail. Fasten off, leaving a tail for attaching.

Assembly and Finishing

Arrange the 8 bobbles evenly around the outside of the bangle in a single row, spacing them about 1 inch (2.5 cm) apart. Sew each bobble securely to the bangle using its yarn tail, catching the bangle surface firmly so the bobble sits flat. Weave in all ends on the inside of the bangle. Lightly steam or mist and shape the bangle flat to block it, then let it dry completely before wearing.

Pro Tips and Variations

• Swap the pearl grey for a metallic or sparkly yarn for a dressier evening version.
• Make a stack in different colors — one bangle per color — for a fun, mix-and-match set.
• Use 7 or 9 bobbles instead of 8 for a slightly different rhythm around the wrist, keeping the spacing even.
