Lime Green Crochet Watchband - Pattern for Sale

Lime Green Watch Band - Design by Mary Jane Hall

I've had several requests for this pattern so I'm finally posting it. You can use any crochet thread, but I used Hilo Omega # 2 100% nylon cord. It's a little slippery to work with, but makes the band super strong. You can buy the buckle & watch face at most craft stores. See the beautiful watch faces below that I found on eBay.

This is a quick and easy project! Hobby Lobby carries this small cord (the thickness of a very thick thread) but Mona at CreativeYarn Source has this in 90 different colors! WOW. I have used some of her Omega products for years and have featured the Sinfonia yarn, # 18 and # 2 Hilos Omega nylon threads in my books. Since I mentioned her website, her business really picked up. I'm happy to help her out!

Watch Faces you can buy on eBay

Make these in different colors as Christmas gifts!

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!
