  • For those of you who are just learning how to make friendship bracelets, I made this in this more in-depth tutorial I will show you how to read friendship bracelet patterns, how to do forward, backward, forward-backward, and backward-forward knots. If you haven't seen my video on how to tie the four types of friendship bracelet knots, this one is a little shorter, and might answer your questions: • How to Make Friendship...
    If not, stick around and watch this new video. :)

  • @mercywalschek2695
    @mercywalschek2695 Před 4 lety +12

    Thank you for making this video. I used to make friendship bracelets back in the 90's (yes. I'm aging myself). There were no complicated patterns back then. All we did were candy stripes and chevrons. My son wanted a 4 leaf clover bracelet for St. Patrick's day. After printing out a pattern, I realized this was definitely more advanced than what I knew. I know this video is pretty old. And, I'm so happy it's still here. Happy Knotting!

  • @mayazaref5277
    @mayazaref5277 Před 5 lety +178

    Before watching this, I only knew how to make candy stripe, forward chevron, and backward chevron. But after watching this, I can now make anything because I am about to read patterns. Thank you @Katrinaosity for helping me.

  • @aliciahawe3053
    @aliciahawe3053 Před 5 lety +91

    this is sooo helpful!!! but once you reach the end of the pattern, if the bracelets not long enough, do you repeat from the very beginning??

    • @agmo8132
      @agmo8132 Před 5 lety +20

      Yes! If the pattern repeats itself ( like a bracelet with puppy faces)
      You just start again from the beggining. :)

    • @ally7609
      @ally7609 Před 5 lety +9

      AGMO what if the strings don’t match up like if their in the wrong place

    • @agmo8132
      @agmo8132 Před 5 lety +11

      @@ally7609 Firstly, make sure you are following the pattern correctly.
      If you are, that means that your pattern is a little off. You need to find the row that you are that matches another row from the beggining of the pattern.
      Or find the part of the pattern that suits well with the end of your bracelet, and then follow it normally.
      It's a little bit tricky, I hope you understood It. :)

    • @graceehouse6775
      @graceehouse6775 Před 5 lety +4

      Ok I’m doing pattern #925 and I finished the instructions but it’s WAY to short but I can’t just repeat bc it’s not the same as the beginning HELP

    • @AnneVKooij

      Planet Alice some patterns end with different colors (most arrowheads do) then you wil need te repait the patten only with the different colors

      @EvoletAngel Před 2 lety

      She just explain it. You have to pay attention to strings, if they have the symbols is going into the knots, and if it doesn’t it’s left out. In this case, the white strings in the second are out because it doesn’t have the knot symbols.

    Thank you, I knew how to do a forward knot, backward knot, backward/forward, square knot and forward/backward but had no idea how to read patterns. I'd made some bracelets by watching videos but will be nice to read patterns myself ❤
