Arrow bracelets

Step 1

Start with the leftmost and rightmost strings and make forward knots (and backward knots, respectively) towards the middle as the picture above shows.

Step 2

If you've done it right, it will look about like this.

Step 3

Continue to make knots towards the middle, using the same pair of strings. When they meet in the middle, make either a forward- or backward knot, it doesn't matter.

Step 4

Repeat steps 1 to 4 until the bracelet is long enough.

Alphabet letter patterns

This tutorial should teach you how to make patterns (also called Letter-, alphabet- or cross-sti
tch patterns). These videos below shows you how to do it while the rest of the tutorial tries to explain it.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to make the letter A on a bracelet. You may replace the letter A by any other letter (see letter examples further down in this tutorial).

Step 1

For this pattern, you will need 8 strings in the letter color, and one in the background color.

Step 2

Start with the blue string to the left and make eight right-knots on top of each letter string. This will be the first row of the pattern in the letter A (see step 1).

Step 3

Use the same string but change direction and make two left-knots. When you get to the third knot (counting from the right), the A pattern tells us it shall be a brown knot there instead of blue. Just take the brown thread in question and make a left downward knot "on top of" the blue one. You can also see it as making a forward knot just that you have tilted the pattern 45 degrees.

Step 4

In this way you can choose color of the next knots. Follow the pattern in step 1 until row 2 is finished.

Step 5

Change direction again and make row 3. Tie right-knots to make blue knots and downward knots to make brown ones. Follow the pattern.

Step 6

When you've finished the first letter, you can continue with the next. You find suggestions for letters below.

STRIPED BRACELETS

This tutorial is supposed to teach you how to tie normal pattern, the striped and easiest one.
1.Start with the thread on the left. Make a right-han
d knot as the picture shows, and tighten it.

2.If you've done it right, it will look like this.

3.Continue to make right -hand knots with the same thread on the next thread in line. Do so on every thread until you've made one row.

4.Now you take the thread out on the left again, and do the exact same thing as in steps 1 to 3.

5.After two rows it looks like this. Go back to step 1 and continue like that in the same way until the bracelet is long enough.
