INSTRUCTIONS:

For this bracelet you will need an even number of strings.

I am using 6 different colors knotted together with an overhand knot- you could do the standard "folded in half" method but you will not have as many random colors in your pattern!

For Six DIFFERENT colors make your strings about 35" long if you are adding clasps or 45" inches long if you want to have tying braids on either side.

For three different colors/strings folded in half make them the standard 65" inches.

This pattern only consists of two rows.

Step 1

Divide your strings into pairs
Use the left string in each pair to make a forward knot onto its partner string to the right.

Step 2

Push the first and last strings aside
Make two pairs and then make backward knots using the right string to knot onto the left string.

Repeat from step 1 (MAKE SURE TO BRING BACK THE TWO STRINGS YOU LEFT OUT FROM STEP 2!)

[Savetheworld714]

How should you arrange it if you are using 3 colors? Thanks a lot

[BeyondBracelets]

@Savetheworld714 Just space them so they are 123 order repeating.

[BeyondBracelets]

@BOOMxxBOOM92 the edges.

[BOOMxxBOOM92]

@BeyondBracelet on the ends of the patterns you said that you have to keep strings for the odd rows and take out strings on the even rows how many strings do you need to take out? which strings? please help!

[BeyondBracelets]

@BOOMxxBOOM92 karot things....? I have no idea what you mean....

[BOOMxxBOOM92]

not those arrows the little karot things on the end what do they indicate ?

[BeyondBracelets]

@haydenm4 I suppose not but you are less likely to miss a pair or mismatch a pair if you work across.

@BOOMxxBOOM92 On FB.Net you need to click the actual bubbles with the arrows. Each time you click the arrow will change. You need to work from the top down and the strings need to work (from the top down) towards where you will need them in the future. You sort of need to be ten steps ahead of yourself.
