(( Buckle )) Beginning Bracelet Buckle
Variation on the Bracelet Buckle
This tutorial will show you how to do start your bracelet with a simple, quick buckle that can be used with any pattern.
I will be making pattern 58637.
Step 1:
First cut your strings to desired length, making the one you want to use for the buckle about 8 inches (20cm) longer. Usually I choose the edge string for the buckle. In this case, that would be color A.
Step 2:
Once your strings are cut, fold them in half and make a lark knot.
Step 3:
Now you have the middle/start of the buckle done. Starting on one side, alternate doing forward knots(fk) and backward knots(bk) for about half an inch.
Step 4:
Then, do the other half using the same technique until you get the desired length. Of course this will be larger or smaller depending on how large the pattern is.
Step 5:
Your buckle is complete! Fold it in half and begin your bracelet. You can use Foz's tutorial if you need help making a straight first row.
