A Prototype to the bracelet(The one at the extreme bottom) : https://www.friendship-bracelets.net/gallery.php?id=49128
______________________________________________________________________
[b][u] MATERIALS NEEDED:
[/b][/u]-Colors- 3 Different Colors according to your preference.
-Strings- 12 working string?s ie 4 strings per each color
-Length-Cut Approximately 60 to 65 inches or longer depending on your wrist size. To be on the safer side, stick to longer string?s because theyre much easier to work with. But don?t cut them too long though XD That?d just be a waste of string.
______________________________________________________________________
[b][u] METHOD/INSTRUCTIONS/PATTERN:
[/b][/u]For this bracelet I will be using A Blue, A Teal and A Cream Color.
You can start your bracelet however you want to. I started mine off with double braids as shown below ;)
_______________________________________________________________________
[u] STEP 1: [/u]
Set Your strings up like shown below into 3 different groups
Start off with your middle most color which is cream for me. Take your right most string of the cream color and make 4 forward knots onto the remaining string?s going to the right.
Pick up your next string in line which is the 2nd string of the cream color and do the same as the previous step, making 5 forward knots this time.
Keep doing this with other two string?s as well till you run out of the cream string doing 6 FKS & 7FKS Respectively
After youve used up all your cream strings you will have something that looks like this.
Now take your next string in line, ie the right most string of the color blue (for me), and make forward knots on all the remaining strings.
Do the same with the other 3 blue strings till you run out of blue and you will have something like this
[
Now set your string?s straight again and divide into three colored groups again
_______________________________________________________________________
[u] STEP 2: [/u]
Now were going to work on the Bars Kinda thingys XD
Were going to work with the teal first.
Take the right most string of teal color and make 3 backward knot?s on the remaining string?s like so
Repeat this step 3 more times with the same color till you have something like this
Time to work on the cream color.
Make 4 rows of backward knots till you have something like this
And finally time to work on the blue. Do 4 rows of backward knot?s and you will see while your working with your blue you will have your first shaped zig which gives the zig zag shape to the bracelet.
You will have something that looks like this
______________________________________________________________________
[u] STEP 3: [/u]
Time to work on the division. This is basically repeat step 1 instead were tieing it on all strings consequently making 4 rows.
[b]Take your far left string which is the teal for me and make forward knots on all the remaining strings.
This is how it looks when you link it with the other color. You don?t have to put much effort on it. They align themselves at their own pace.
Do this step 3 more times till you have a complete 4 rows of it just like this
Now after doing the division part , your basically going to repeat step 2 again, by making the bars lookin kinda thingys XD
[b]Keep repeating Steps 2 & 3 Until you reach desired length.
_______________________________________________________________________
[b][u] STEP 4-ENDING THE BRACELET: [/u]
Now when your satisfied with the length of your bracelet and want to finally end your bracelet do your last 4 rows of forward knots ie Step 3
Next your going to take the far left string and make 7 forward knots to the right.
Keep doing this until you get down to 4 forward knot?s(Opposite of how we started our bracelet)
