4 1/2mm needles (you can use double pointed needles or straight needles)
Buttons (1 for each bracelet you would like to make).

Thread in the ends and stitch on the button. You could stitch the sides on either side of the button hole, I just folded it and it has stayed in place though that may vary with the type of yarn used.

Making the bracelet
Both of these versions start out the same. When you start making them they don't look quite right so if it looks like the photo below, don't worry or unpick it will come right

After knitting a few more rows, it should look like this photo below, if not pull the yarn tighter at the back to close up the gap:

The front of the bracelet should look like this:
