Seed Stitch Bracelet Reviewed by Rama on 2008-11-16
Easy bracelet to make. It was bit big for me and I sewed it up tighter -- it would have been easier to begin with a lower stitch count. The only problem I have is that the Vanna's choice yarn (I chose pea green) fuzzes up with wear so the seed stitch does not look as defined as in the picture.
