Introduction: Arrowhead Bracelet by Gia De Mayo
This is an intermediate difficulty bracelet, requiring a knowledge of forward and backward knots along with right-left and left-right transitory knots.
- forward knot: place the left string over the right and knot through twice
- backward knot: place the right string over the left and knot through twice
- right-left knot: tie one stitch of a forward knot followed by one of a backward knot
- left-right knot: one stitch of a backward knot followed by one of a forward knot
P. S. A. After both transition knots, the strings should finish in their initial position.
You will need...
