Chevron Friendship Bracelet Pattern

What you need:

• Embroidery floss in your choice of colors:
  
  The Chevron can be made using at least two colors or as many as you would like.  This pattern calls for five colors:  blue (1), rust (2), yellow (3), green (4), and brown (5). 
  
  
• Masking tape, a safety pin and pillow, or a clipboard
• Scissors
• Measuring Tape

Things to know before you begin:

The knots used are forward (F) and backward. (B)
Instructions for the knots, starting, and finishing are here.

Step 1

Cut strands to desired length.  For this particular pattern, 50 inches will produce approximately a 5 inch (including loop and knot) tight bracelet.

Step 2

Fold strands in half and make a loop and knot at the top.  Pin the knot to your workstation pillow.

Step 3

Arrange colors:  12345 54321.  The outer strands (blue) will be used first.

Step 4

Starting on the right and using the blue strand, make four backward knots. 

Step 5

From the left with the blue strand, make five forward knots.  The fifth knot will join the blue strands which should now be in the center.  The color arrangement will be 23451 15432.

Step 6

Continue steps 4 and 5 until you reach the desired bracelet length.

Step 7

Divide the strands into two sections, and braid each group.
