Solomon’s Knot Crochet Cuff Pattern and Video

A few years ago, Robyn shared a free Solomon’s Knot crochet cuff pattern with us for 24 Days of Quickies. It’s a great project for any time of year. Therefore, we wanted to bring it back in case you missed it the first time. This is a small and easy project. You don’t need a lot of materials to make it and can work it up quickly. It’s perfect for those hot days of summer. And yet, it gives you the chance to practice some fun things like Solomon’s Knot. It’s a unique niche of crochet, and you can use alternative materials like crocheting with wire and/or beads. Let’s have some fun!

What Is Solomon’s Knot?

Solomon’s Knot is a really unique crochet stitch. Some even consider it a niche crochet technique because it almost feels like another craft entirely. But if you can crochet the basic stitches, you can kick things up a notch by learning Solomon’s knot crochet.

Solomon’s Knot, also called the Love Knot and the Hail Stone, is a very openwork stitch. It’s made by first working a really long chain stitch. Then, you add a single crochet stitch worked into the back bar of the chain stitch you just made. You build one knot on top of the other to create a very open lace design.

It’s different – you don’t start the traditional way with a chain and then a row of stitches. You just make a couple of stitches, build your big chain loop, and add the vertical loops atop that. It’s different from what you’re used to. However, it uses the same general movements, so you can figure it out.

Play With Materials

Have fun playing with different materials to make bracelets in different styles. You can use thread, including cotton thread and metallic thread. Alternatively, you can also crochet with wire. Add beads around the border of the cuff or all over, depending on how blingy you want it. Alternatively, leave the beads off for a simpler piece, though they really do add a lot to the design. These are great gifts. Make a bunch now so that they’re ready for birthdays and holidays as the year gets busier!
