Material: Six Stranded Embroidery Floss


PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS:

You will need 6 strings folded over for this bracelet. (12 strings)
With so many strings you might want to try out making a loom.

Set up your strings as follows: 1 22 1 33 (middle) 33 1 22 1

For my bracelet I used:
1-black (Border of Diamonds)
2-gray (side triangles)
3-blue (diamonds)
**Knowing this you can now choose custom colors for yourself!**

NOTE: Make sure your strings are 65"-70" long for this bracelet.
(I'd go for 70" just to be safe! Diamonds always take a lot of string!)

♦ PRO-TIP:

Noticing certain strings are getting too short? Quick fix short strings by switching places with a longer string of the same color. Passing over strings of the same color that are longer than the one you need to be working with means that you can easily substitute the forward or backward knot with a mixed knot so that the longer string switches places with the short string!
