► Braided Leaves - Friendship Bracelet Tutorial

Original Written Tutorial: http://www.friendship-bracelets.net/tutorial.php?id=1484 ☼ Material: Six Strand Embroidery Floss Setup: 1a 2b 1a 2b 1a 2b 1a 2b - 3c 3c 3c 3c A B and C will mark each of the three sets of four strands You may make them any color but in the video I have it set as a border- if you want you can use four separate colors or four of the same color for the color sets. It's up to you. Each strand will be roughly 70" (175cm) then folded in half to form doubles. NOTE: If you have a small wrist 65" (160cm) may be sufficient. ______________________________________________ ■ Pattern Instructions: 1a 2b 1a 2b 1a 2b 1a 2b First we will start with the second from the right and make one forward knot Second the fourth from the right will make two forward knots Third the sixth from the right will make three forward knots Last the very first strand will make four forward knots Once you set up the strands as stated above it will be easy from here on out There will be a center set of four strands. This set will change color but never change place. Look at the middle four as "base strands" which will be worked on for the entire pattern. STEP 1: RIGHT SIDE: Take the first thread closest to your middle set of four strands and make 4 Backward knots. Do this for each thread working from closest to the set to the furthest. It's essentially a Forward Candystripe. STEP 2: LEFT SIDE: Take the first thread closes to your middle set of four strands and make 4 Forward knots. Do this for each thread working from closest to the set to the furthest. Again, it's essentially a Forward Candystripe. Repeat Step 1 and 2 over and over until desired length is achieved. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ♥ Thanks for Watching! ♥ --------------------------------------------------------------------------
