Inverse Chevron Friendship Bracelet Pattern

The Inverse Chevron Friendship Bracelet Pattern is just like the Chevron bracelet; just the starting point is different.  The minimum number of colors is two, and the maximum is up to you.

What you need:

• Embroidery floss in your choice of colors:
  This pattern uses three colors:  cream (1), green (2), and blue (3).
• 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, 60 inches will produce approximately a 6 inch (including loop and knot) tight bracelet.

Step 2

Step 4

Starting in the center and join the cream strands together with a forward knot.

Step 5
