I am always in search of creative fidget toys for my son, and love incorporating my craft into these projects. I stumbled upon a post on social media showing a small knit bracelet tube with a marble, and have since been making them for my son and other family and friends. A few knitters requested I write directions for how I make the bracelets, so here they are! These simple bracelets are suitable for children and adults. Directions are included for both fingering and DK weight yarns. Enjoy!
Test knitting: Norah B., Stacie B., Wendy N-H., Amanda U.

Each bracelet uses approximately 4-6 g of fingering or DK weight yarn. This is a great project to use up yarn scraps leftover from another project.

DK WEIGHT GAUGE
7 stitches = 1” (2.5 cm) in stockinette in the round
