Crocheted String Bracelet
I used a stiff surveyor's string (you can find this type of string at a hardware store) and a Size 6 or G hook. Most any type of string will work, although you may need to adjust the hook size.
How-to:
Chain to desired length plus 3 chains. Leave a long tail (you will need it for one of the ties later).
Insert hook into 4th chain from the hook. Triple crochet in each stitch. After making a triple crochet stitch in the last chain, chain 3 and single crochet into that same last stitch.
Turn and single crochet in each stitch. Stop when you are 3 stitches shy of original foundation chain.
Tie off. Clip, leaving an extra long tail.
You now have 2 tails, but they won't be centered on the ends of the bracelet. Use the hook to draw the tails up through a suitable stitch in the center edge of each end to form symmetrically positioned ties.
