Rings of Power Bracelets:
Materials: Small amounts of sport or DK weight yarn in gold, silver, and black for Main Colors. Even smaller amounts of various jewel-tone scraps in at least nine different colors for the Gem Colors. Gauge is not generally important, but I achieved 5 stitches per inch in Ribbing, and 6 stitches per inch in Stockinette Stitch, Seed Stitch, and Garter Stitch.

Cast on 36 stitches, distributing evenly among three DPNs. Join into a round. Rnd 1-6: \*K1, P1\*. Repeat around. Bind off.

Cast on 7 stitches in Main Color. Row 1: Knit across. Row 2: Purl across.

Optional Modifications For Nenya:
Instead of (or in addition to, if you have a mind) stranding the Gem Color for Nenya, you can add a crocheted flower as follows: (This pattern is based on the first round of Crochet Rose by Kalurah) Chain 2. Rnd 1: Sc5 in second chain from hook. Rnd 2: [Slip Stitch, Sc, Slip Stitch] in front loop of first sc and each sc around. Do the same in each back loop around. This gives you two layers of petals. Fasten off and sew to Nenya.
