Checker Pathway - Friendship Bracelet Tutorial

MATERIAL: Six Stranded Embroidery Floss (DMC BRAND) PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS: You will need 5 strings folded in half for this pattern. 2 strings of one color, 2 strings of another, and 1 string of yet another color. Set up your strings as follows: 11 22 3 [middle] 3 22 11 11 will be the color of the triangles on the sides. 22 will be the color for the pair of diamonds 33 will be the color of the middle diamonds throughout the pattern The strings that are in the 1 positions should be 85" (inches) long All of the strings in the other positions should be 65" (inches) long * Normally I'd make the "1" strings darker since it accents the pattern- but for visibility reasons I chose light green for the "1" strings in this video. ____________________________________________ Starting The Pattern...

Sorry for speeding up the video here and there. Since I only have 15 minutes allowed I had to shorten the video by speeding it up in places. I know it was fast in some places but I really don't like making part 2's of videos where I can help it. I try to be as quick and concise as I can be- besides, the directions are always written out so I figure that even if I am a bit quick on the videos you still have the directions available to you right here. ____________________________________________ ■ Your Common Questions Answered ■ What string do I use?
