How to Make a Chevron Friendship Bracelet

Intro: How to Make a Chevron Friendship Bracelet

This project takes a lot time! After a couple rows you will have the hang of it and be able to finish!


Materials:
String/embroidery thread (different colors)
Scissors
Tape/clipboard (something to hold down)
Ruler

STEP 1:

1.After deciding at least 2 different colored string, cut to 50 inches. I am making mine with 3 colors. (If you pick 3 colors, cut 1 of each color 50 inches)

2. Fold the string in half and make a knot at the top so there is a loop at the very top.

STEP 2:

3.Tape the string above/at the knot to hold down in place. (this is just to keep it still and in place)

4. Spread the thread in a pattern like 1 2 3 3 2 1. The left should mirror the right side.

STEP 3:

5.Start at the left string. String #1  (BLUE) Make a knot by making a number “4” over the second string, go under and through the hole, and then pull tight. Do another knot—you should have 2 knots.

STEP 4:

6. Using the same string (#1 BLUE) you will knot the same way over the 3rd. Do not forget to do 2 knots.  When you get to the center stop.

STEP 5:

7.Repeat from the right.

STEP 6:

8. Knot the 2 center strings (both blues) don’t forget to knot 2 times on each!

STEP 7:

9.You will continue to follow the pattern of colors, again starting at the left working to center, stop, start at the right working to center then knotting the 2 center threads.

10. When you get to your desired length (try wrapping around wrist to see) you can tie around wrist and cut off any excess thread!

I really like this design! Just a tip for people making the bracelet, make sure to do super tight knots! I struggled a little because mine weren’t tight enough
