Yes you could. You could add a different colour at each side (or more than one, depending on the thickness of the bracelet you wanted, or the amount of colours you wanted) as long as you had an equal number of threads for each side overall. If you were working as a chevron. HTH 😊
Yeah thats so much easier than knotting row by row horizontally for sure thanks! Does the same principle work if I wanna widen the bracelet and make a thicker one though?
It'll work with more threads or even with more colours as long as you always remember to maintain the colour order every time you knot two different coloured threads together (either by knotting fwd/bwd or by bwd/fwd).
it's complicated for total beginners, sorry. I completed rest of the pattern as a concidence. Here's how: example: color1 + line1 = 11 color2 + line3= 23 here's how your pattern looks like: 11-12-13 21-22-23-24 31-32-33 11-12, 12-13, 13-21, 21-22 33-32, 32-31, 31-24, 24-23 23-22 for the center and repeat it till the end. it's easy.
I think I should have shown this one from the chevron point rather than the beginning bit where I filled in from the straight start to convert to a chevron. That would probably have been better as its own video. If worked from both edges as the chevron point (either filled in or tapered afterwards) it would be a one row repeat pattern which would be much simpler for a beginner. So worked straight as a chevron starting from the outside threads it would be fwd knots on the left (with a fwd/bwd every time the threads were different colours) and bwd knots on the left (with a bwd/fwd every time the threads were different colours). Sorry for the confusion!
objeXionable oh ok..it’s such a beautiful bracelet and especially the strings themselves as well. Can u please make on for me so i could follow along and make one? I’ve been trying to make one for ages and i kept having to undo everything so many times..I need small details though..like show us a forward four and a backward four so we dont mix up with the ties 😓
I like it but I think it'd be easier to do normally if you know what I mean. Working into the centre is confusing me a bit, had to watch a couple of times and still getting mixed up, smh :(
after you finish the first set do you keep knitting starting from the outer string of the color or repeat the pattern of the inner one then the second then outer
Once you've created your chevron point it becomes a one row repeat pattern. You can work in any direction you prefer when both colours are the same, but I usually do forward knots on the left and backward knots on the right when I work to a chevron point. For any where the colours of the two threads are different I do a fwd/bwd on the left and a bwd/fwd on the right. But again you could do the opposite if you preferred as long as you kept the threads in same order after knotting. In the centre point I always do a forward knot as I prefer those if I can use them. But once again, it's down to your preference. I hope that helps 🤞🏻
You can work it as a straight edge 'normal' 1-2 pattern if it's easier. I just like chevron style knotting because I think they're a bit tighter worked that way.
It's basically knotting in whichever direction you want if you are knotting two of the same colour. For different colours knot to keep your colours in the same position (so f/b if the knotting thread is on the left and b/f if it's on the right) Alternately I did a straight edged version which shows the knots as a diagram as they are worked.
@@izzyslezak3908 which part (you can put a time stamp if it's easier). I did a straight edge version here: th-cam.com/video/3RTThA7dpBM/w-d-xo.html which may be more straightforward?
I did forward knots on the right and backward knots on the left because it was worked as a chevron. You could work it as a straight edge if you preferred.
So many parts of this video are confusing because you don't do the pattern one full time through and say where to rewind to start again. The language used is not concise so it is hard to follow and you don't state what you are doing either.
It's forward knots on the left (and centre) Backward knots on the right Except if the colours of the threads are different. Then it is forward backward on the left And backward forward on the left. Once the chevron is created it is a one row repeat pattern. You can really do any direction of knot while the colours are the same. But use a fwd/bed on the left and a bwd/fwd on the right when they are different to keep the colours in the same place after every row.

Thank you for this and thanks for talking through what you are doing...This one's challenging for me to be honest, but eventually I'll get it lol
Thank you 😊
Thanks for this, I made my own and it turned out great! :)
I would probably go for different colours, but I like the pattern. Is it possible to do the same pattern but with more colours?
Yes you could. You could add a different colour at each side (or more than one, depending on the thickness of the bracelet you wanted, or the amount of colours you wanted) as long as you had an equal number of threads for each side overall. If you were working as a chevron. HTH 😊

Another nice video that, for me, was easy to understand.
Thank you, I'm glad it helped!
This is awesome. Thank you so much for this. Very helpful :)
When he says knot to the center does he mean do forward knots on the left and backward knots on the right?
your bracelets are rly nice!! thanks for the tutorial😁
Oh thank you, that's really kind of you. I'm glad you liked it 🙂

It'll work with more threads or even with more colours as long as you always remember to maintain the colour order every time you knot two different coloured threads together (either by knotting fwd/bwd or by bwd/fwd).
is it possible to do a loop at the beginning to add a button at the end?
can you do it with 1+2+1 strings instead of 3+4+3 ?
I tried a couple times and it didn't work. But it did make a pretty stitch
it's complicated for total beginners, sorry. I completed rest of the pattern as a concidence. Here's how:
example:
color1 + line1 = 11
color2 + line3= 23
here's how your pattern looks like:
11-12-13 21-22-23-24 31-32-33
11-12, 12-13, 13-21, 21-22
33-32, 32-31, 31-24, 24-23
23-22 for the center
and repeat it till the end. it's easy.

Sorry for the confusion!
It’s still so confusing 😭 i wish he put the cam close up to the bracelet so we can follow the details
That was filmed on my old camera which wouldn't go any closer without losing focus unfortunately.

Do you happen to have this pattern written out? I would love a copy if you do!

I did do a different version as a normal friendship bracelet here th-cam.com/video/3RTThA7dpBM/w-d-xo.html

i am not clear with this point...does the next step was you start from the third again or from the first?
Once you've knotted all your threads just return to outside threads and repeat the last row until the bracelet is as long as you want it.
is there a way to add letters to it?
You could embroider letters on. Otherwise you'd want an alpha pattern...
what type of beginning loop do you recommend?
A teardrop loop or an inverse loop would work well with this style, then you can work straight into the chevron style I think..
HTH 🙂
@@objeXionable how can i do a teardrop loop with this type?
Because you didn't fold the strings in half right?
how do you start it? like do you braid it beforehand or what
I leave enough at the beginning to do a braided tie on. But I do both the braids after I finished the main pattern
This was confusing
