keep going until the bracelet is long enough to fit around the wrist.įinish the bracelet with a big knot and trim the ends. Do you see the pattern? 2 normal, 2 special, 2 normal, 2 special. Knot another normal row and then 2 special rows to form another heart. Make forward knots with the outermost strands, moving inwards towards the middle. Now, it’s back to a normal row again to close the heart. Mirror the steps on the other side and connect the middle strands. Now fill in the heart by finishing the row with 2nd outermost strand (shown here in blue) and making forward knots over each strand until it reaches the middle. Now repeat this special row again for the 4th row, taking the 2nd outermost strand and reversing the knot over the outermost strand. The heart cleavage has been created and the third row is finished. Knot twice.Ĭomplete the row by taking the 2nd outermost strand (shown here in red) and make forward knots over each strand until it reaches the middle. Repeat on the other side: take the 2nd to last strand (shown here in blue) and make a forward knot over the outermost strand (showin here in red). Now, it’s time for a “special” row: take the 2nd outermost strand (shown here in blue) and make a backwards knot over the outermost strand (shown here in red). Don’t forget to always knot twice!Ĭontinue onto a second row using the same method. Don’t forget to knot twice!Ĭontinue knotting towards the left until the outermost strand reaches the middle. Tie a backwards knot with the two middle strands to connect the two halves. Pick up the outermost strand on the right side (show here in red) and make a backward knot, creating a reverse 4-shape over the 2nd to last strand (shown here in blue), loop it under and back through the opening. Pull up and to the left to tighten. Pull up and to the right to tighten. Make the same knot twice everytime.Ĭontinue knotting over each color, towards the right, until the outermost color has carried over to the middle. Start on the left side with the outermost strand (shown here in red) and make a forward knot by creating a 4-shape over the 2nd strand (shown here in blue), loop it under and back through the opening. Arrange the strands in an alternating, mirror-image pattern with the outside threads matching and so on moving inwards. Separate the threads into 2 sets, 2 of each color on each side.
Tape the knot to a flat working surface or clip onto a clipboard. Remember to leave at least 3 inches of slack. Alternate the thread colors before tying them together in a knot.
Start by cutting 4 strands of each color, at about 24 inches each, for a total of 8 strands.
