French Lace Bracelet

This used exactly ten yards of thread.  I even worked the button tab using a long tail left at the beginning, to avoid using up yarn starting and ending again.

I got this little ball of J&P Coats Pearl Cotton 5 from my great aunt before she passed; so far this is the only thing I have made from it.  This particular thread is no longer made, but it seems to be almost exactly like the DMC pearl cotton available everywhere.

The pattern (available here) is in French, but it includes a chart, and I had reasonable success with the text after machine translation.  There are also several projects with photos on Ravelry that show what you should be aiming for.
