Free Crochet Pattern - Quick and Easy Watchband

Design by Mary Jane Hall

This simple watchband pattern was published in the 2008 Crochet A Day Calendar.. It's made with # 18 La Espiga nylon cord. I like using nylon cord or thread because it's sturdy and great for purses, or anything that needs firmness to it. You can find La Espiga  nylon (formerly called Hilos Omega nylon), in different sizes and 75 colors at Creative Yarn Source (formerly Crochet Style, Etc). Just think - 75 colors! My friend, Mona, runs this rapidly growing business. She's a wonderful person and she'll even post photos on her website https://creativeyarnsource.com/ of your work. Check out all the yarns there! The prices are great and you won't be disappointed. Tell Mona that Mary Jane sent you!
