It's been a while since I'd tied a sailor's bracelet, also known as a Nantucket bracelet. the couple that I tied are a 3 lead 11 bight Turk's head knot with three passes (tripled) and a 3 lead 8 bight TH.The ends can be tied in a knot and frayed, or glued and trimmed to finish.
They can be tied in hand, as I did these, one with twisted cotton catfish line and another in 550 paracord, or tied directly around the wrist or on different sized mandrels for specific sizes to slip on/off over the hand.
Here's a blog post link to a fancier one that I tied back in 2008.
