Introduction: Candy Stripe Friendship Bracelet
Hello everyone! Today I'm going to teach you all a simple Friendship Bracelet pattern. Here's what you'll need.
Materials:
•Embroidery Floss or Thin Yarn
•Paper Clamp or Clipboard
•Book (not needed if you choose to use a clipboard)
•Scissors
Step 1: Starting
Choose as many colors and as many strands as you like (I recommend 3+).
The more strands the thicker your bracelet will be. (Mine has 8 Strands)
To figure out the length of your strands I suggest wrapping a strand around your wrist 3 times.
After you have cut and measured all your strands, tie a knot leaving a 1/2 inch so you can tie it in the end.
Step 2:
Use your clamp the clip your knot into place.
Separate the strands and put them in the order you will like the colors to show.
Step 3:
Grab your 1st strand with your right hand and 2nd strand with your left. Loop strand 1 in front of strand 2 making a number "4".
Step 4:
Loop strand 1 inside the "4" as shown
Step 5:
Tie strand 1 all the way to the top of strand 2.
This is called a forward knot.
Do this twice on every strand using Strand 1.
When you have done this take your new Strand 1 and repeat.
Repeat with all strand and you will slowly start seeing the pattern.
Step 6:
When you have reached desired length stop.
You can make a knot here or you're welcome to braid it like I did. Then knot it.
You can now unclip your bracelet.
Step 7:
Cut off the excess strands.
Tie around your wrist and done! Enjoy your new bracelet.
