To make a friendship bracelet, you will need about 1 yard of 3 different types of yarn for each bracelet you want to make.

• You will need about 1 yard of yarn for each bracelet you want to make. You can use 3 different colors and make a rainbow-colored friendship bracelet, or you can use just two or one color and make it more simple.
• You can get the yarn from a craft store in any size you like, but it’s best if they’re not too thin because it would be harder to weave through them all if they were really skinny strands!
• You’ll also need scissors and a ruler (or tape measurer) so that you know how long each strand should be before cutting them off from their skein/spool/ball thingy

You can cut the yarn into individual pieces or keep them all attached so you can make several bracelets with different combinations of colors.

When you’re done braiding, you’ll want to cut the yarn into individual pieces so that each strand will make its own friendship bracelet. If you decide to keep them all attached as one long strand of yarn, it will be easier to make a single bracelet with multiple colors by just making a continuous braid with different colors and patterns.

You can also experiment with different color combinations on your own or look up some of our favorite tutorials online (we love this rainbow version).

Make an anchor knot by folding your strand in half and tying a single knot at the top of the fold.

To make an anchor knot, fold your strand in half and tie a single knot at the top of the fold. This creates a loop for the next rows of knots to be added to. You can make this loop as large or as small as you want.

Take the longer tail and drop it behind the other strands. Bring it back through the loop that has formed, and pull it tight. This is called a lark’s head knot.

Now, take the longer tail and drop it behind the other strands. Bring it back through the loop that has formed, and pull it tight. This is called a lark’s head knot. You will now see two tails coming out of your knot, one long and one short.

This is a simple knot that’s used to attach a string or rope to something — in this case, friendship bracelet pieces! It’s also called a cow hitch or lanyard knot.

If you want to attach this type of friendship bracelet piece to another piece (like when creating a chain), simply use two or three lark’s head knots instead of just one!

The remaining strands should be floss strands of one color and at least two floss strands of another color.

Once you have made your first piece of the pattern, repeat this process with the remaining strands of floss. For example, if you used two strands of purple and one strand of blue on the first piece, you will use three strands of purple and two strands of orange on the next piece. The remaining strands should be floss strands of one color and at least two floss strands of another color. If you want to make a different colored bracelet than what is shown in this tutorial (for example, using only four colors instead), simply substitute colors as needed following these guidelines:

• You can use more than 2 floss strands for one color (for example, three or four blue)
• You may use less than two floss strands for another color (for example, just one red)

Split up the floss strands into two groups and pull them through the loop formed by your anchor knot.

Now, you’ll split up the floss strands into two groups and pull them through the loop formed by your anchor knot.

After pulling the floss tight, you should be left with a star-shaped knot. This is called an anchor knot because it will hold all of the other knots together in place.

Tighten the lark’s head knots, then separate your floss strands into four groups, two for each color. Separate them evenly so your bracelet won’t end up lopsided.

Now that your knots are secure, you’re ready to separate the floss strands into four groups, two for each color. Separate them evenly so your bracelet won’t end up lopsided.

Take one strand from each group, making four pairs of two – two red, two blue – then weave them together as shown in steps 7 through 9 for your first row. Pull tightly on each piece to ensure that the knots are snug and even. You may want to count the stitches from time to time to make sure they’re all even too! This is how your bracelet will stay an equal width throughout.

Now it’s time to weave! Take one strand from each group, making four pairs of two – two red and two blue – then weave them together as shown in steps 7 through 9 for your first row. Pull tightly on each piece to ensure that the knots are snug and even. You may want to count the stitches from time to time to make sure they’re all even too! This is how your bracelet will stay an equal width throughout.

The weaving part of this project can be tricky, but if you take it slow and keep counting those stitches, you’ll get there in no time at all! You’ll also want to make sure that your bracelet isn’t too tight; keep checking on it every few inches until you find a comfortable place for your finger or thumb.
