Knot Just Any Bracelet...

So I am going on a girls holiday and decided to make one of these bracelets for each of my friends as a sort of souvenir for us. The pattern is formed by making knots over each of the threads so can easily be done by hand and they look great. So why not sit outside, enjoy the sunshine and make one of these bracelets!

You'll need:

• 3 colours of thread (about 1.5m of each colour)
• a bead
• scissors
• tape

Here are the instructions, I hope you enjoy making them,

 

 1. Fold the threads in half and tie a knot (the loop should be just the right size to fit over your bead)

 2. Tape the knot to a surface and seperate the threads so that the left and right side consist of each colour

 

3. Take the furthesy thread (dark blue), bring it over the next thread (white) and then under and pull together

 4. Repeat this action so that the furthest string (dark blue) has gone around the next string (white) twice

 

5. Using the same thread (dark blue) follow the method in steps 3 and 4 over the most inward thread (light blue)

 6. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 on the three threads on the right hand side so that the threads which began furthest from the centre (dark blue) now meet at the centre

 

  7. Where the threads (dark blue) meet at the centre use one of the threads to form two knots over the other and pull together

 8. Repeat the same method shown in steps 3 to 7 with the thread that is now furthest from the centre (white)

 9. Soon you will see the bracelet develop and continue with the process until the desired length has been reached

10. Place a bead on the end to act as a fasten, tie together and your done!
