This bracelet is round, not flat. It has an interesting texture, and is actually a lot easier than it looks. Here's what you do:
Cut four strands of yarn, any weight, 20 in. long. I used worsted weight. You can use as many colors as you want, though to start, I would recommend using four different colors until you get good at it.
Tie a knot about 2.5 in. from the end.
Tape the end above the knot to a flat surface with tape, or you can safety pin the knot to a pillow, cushion, or your pant leg.
Seperate and number the strands, 1 through 4, right to left. I wrote down on a sheet of paper what color was what number.
Here is how you braid it:
1. String 1 over string 2.
2. String 3 over all the strings to the right.
3. String 4 over string 1.
4. String 2 over all the strings to the left.
Renumber the strings, and repeat until it is as long as you need it to be. As you do this, you will get faster and faster. Try and pull your strings snug as you braid.
When you are done, tie a knot at the end of the strand.
There you go! Now just tie it on like you would a friendship bracelet.
