Some questions come up frequently, and poring over the archives and hitting up Google can be frustrating. So, for future reference, here are answers you may want:

== Bracelet Sizing ==

Every weave is different, but in general a symmetric design such as a solomon bar will use approximately 1 foot of cord per 1 inch of finished bracelet length. The finished bracelet length should be longer than the measured wrist, and this varies by the thickness of the weave. Using the standard solomon bar, most people add 1/2 to 1 inch.

If you're not working on purely custom sizes, this table shows what many consider normal finished bracelet sizes:
