Daria Bracelet
I knit something! Three somethings actually, cute little bracelets using Noro's Daria Multi yarn. I picked up this yarn a couple of weeks ago on a whim, mostly because I looooved the color. It's sort of a rayon cord yarn that just begs to be knit into i-cord. Really, begs.
The bracelets are super easy to knit and make great little gifts, you can get a bunch out of one skein. The pattern is available in pdf form here. Or you can scroll down and get it here on the blog.

Daria Bracelet
Materials:
Yarn: 1 skein of Noro Daria Multi (55% cotton-45% rayon / 50 meters). Shown in color #26.
Needles: 2 US size 6 (4.25mm) dpns
Gauge: Not important, just use a needle size that makes fabric that you like.
Notions: Tapestry needle, clasp.
Instructions:
· Cast on 3 stitches, making sure to leave about a 10” tail.
· Work i-cord for desired length. For me, that was about 6 inches.
· Bind off, leaving a 10” tail.
· With your fingers, slide one end of the clasp down the tail from the bind off edge. Thread the yarn through a tapestry needle and weave into the i-cord to secure the end.
· Repeat for the other side of the bracelet using the other piece of the clasp.
· Enjoy!

That is really cute!
I have just made one with some hand dyed, hand spun alpaca I had left from making some fingerless mitts.
Great for using up leftover bits of yarn.
what a cool idea. I-cords are sweet. This is an ultimate accessory for a knitter :) I will totally be making some :)
what a great project, I might have to try making a few :)
Ditto - totally cute idea. I don't like most knitted jewelry (looks like old lady stuff, not that there's anything wrong with that), but I really LOVE how you've done these!
great project for finger-knitting, thanks!
I found your post and did 3 of my own! Thanks for the inspiration.
I had no idea what to do with the Noro daria yarn, but I knew that I liked it.
Thanks a lot for the simple pattern. I love the yarn soo much. Really there's nothing else like it and the bracelets are so unique. Also, it's knitted? How cool.
These are lovely. I like the way the light shines off the silky cord and the catch makes a great finishing touch. I might be a crocheter, but I wonder if I can find my needles?
is there another yarn you recommend since Noro Daria yarn is discontinued? I love the look of the yarn you used but haven't found anything similar yet. thanks!
