Braided Cable Bracelet

Hi everyone! So I loved the bracelet I made on my last post but I wanted to make one with a more braided look. I found a pattern on the blog http://sascha-lovetoknit.blogspot.nl/2012/09/kabelarmbanden-breien-met-patroon.html

The pattern for the bracelet is
Cast on 11 stitches. I used size 8 needles and size 4 worsted weight yarn. This needs to be knitted straight so remember to turn your work over after every row! This can be done on circular needles as long as you turn your work over! :)
** She says to use cotton yarn, which I agree would make the bracelet have that "clean" look to it but any yarn works! :)
Row 1. knit 11
Row 2. Purl 11
Row 3. Knit 1, c6f, knit 4
Row 4. Purl 11
Row 5. Knit 11
Row 6. Purl 11
Row 7. Knit 4, c6b, knit 1
Row 8. Purl 11

Repeat rows 1-8 until you get the desired length. The best bind off is the kitchener stitch, which I finally learned!! Let me say, it is extremely useful for bracelets - I can't even tell where the seam is!! It's amazing!!

I learned the kitchener stitch from my favorite knitting channel iKnits from this video
