In these variations on the previous patterns (see here and here) I have played with several colors on the left and right and with different widths. The fourth pattern makes clear you can use a thread of a totally different color at the sides when it doesn’t show up like a knot anywhere. Take notice also of the sides of the previous purple and yellow variety!   Variation 1 Variation 2 Variation 3 Variation 4 Do you see that the thread on the side isn’t becoming visible as a knot anywhere? This gives more possibilities.Read More →

You secure the knot with a safety pin on a cushion or on a cloth that you can tie around your leg. If you wear trousers that’s made of a firm cloth, like jeans, you can also attach it directly to your trousers when you don’t have a cushion of cloth. Don’t pierce your skin with the safety pin! You can then start to knot. When you reach the desired length, you finishRead More →

With the patterns I provide information what the usage is for making the bracelets. Materials use up quite quickly, so use extra instead of less. I usually take about 12 cm (5 inches) for the braiding at the start, and that’s the same length you should at least leave in the end to be able to make two equally long braids. The usage is based on the use of embroidery yarn.Read More →
