Prepare embroidery thread. Cut the embroidery thread about 150-165cm long for each color depending on the wrist size. You will need at least 6 threads (choose 3 colors of thread, 2 each), but you can also choose to use more, just an even number is fine.

The more the number of threads, the more complicated the color arrangement and the larger the bracelet.
Choose any color you like; just make sure each color has two paragraphs just fine.

Hold the threads in place. Fold the thread in half then tie a knot and hold in place in several ways so you can easily keep the thread tight during the bracelet making process.

You can clip the thread to the sign cover, pin it to your pants or pillow with a hand needle, or stick it on a flat surface. You can also use butterfly clips with cufflinks or a book. Another way is to tie it to a drawer handle.

Sort paragraphs only. Place the threads in a symmetrical color order with the two outer threads of the same color and the same for the inner threads in turn.

Imagine having an invisible line in the middle and creating the same color order on either side of that midline.

Start making the right knots. First, you take the rightmost thread, tie two knots to the adjacent thread (second from the right).

To tie the right knot, make a 90-degree angle by placing the first thread over the second. Next, you thread the first thread under the second thread and tighten.
Note: Remember to create two knots on each thread.
After you’ve tied the outermost thread to the next thread, you do the same with the next inner thread. Continue this process until the knots reach the center.
Note: the first thread you used (far right) should now be centered.

Start making the left knots. On the left side, you tie knots from the outermost thread to the center.

To tie the left knot, do the same thing as with the right knot, but in the opposite direction. Make a 90 degree angle by placing the first thread over the second and threading the first thread under the second and then tightening.

Create middle knots. Tie the knot in the left or right direction with two pieces of thread in the middle to connect the two sides (remember to tie the knot twice).

Note: if you followed the steps in the right order, by this point the two midpoints should be the same color and you’ll see a V-shaped pattern.

Continue the process. Repeat steps 4, 5, and 6 until the bracelet is the desired length, always starting with the outermost thread on each side. The colored markers must also be in the same position.

Complete bracelet. Tie a knot at the end of the bracelet and use the excess thread to tie the bracelet to your or a friend’s wrist.

Or, you can attach a button to wear the bracelet easily. Attach the button to the end of the bracelet by threading two threads into the two holes on the button. Next, you tie the two threads together and trim the excess of all the threads (including the one that isn’t used for knotting). At the other end of the bracelet, you’ve got a circle created from tying the knot to hold the thread in place. Attach the button to that circle once you’ve completed the steps.

Prepare embroidery thread. With this style of bracelet, you will need to prepare embroidery thread with 4 different colors. Cut 2 pieces of each color that are only about 165cm long. Thus, you will have a total of 8 segments only.

Once you’ve cut the stitches, fold the whole bundle in half. Thus, you will have a total of 16 segments only.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3f/Make-a-Chevron-Friendship-Bracelet-Step-10-Version-9.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Chevron-Friendship-Bracelet-Step-10-Version-9.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3f/Make-a-Chevron-Friendship- Bracelet-Step-10-Version-9.jpg/v4-728px-Make-a-Chevron-Friendship-Bracelet-Step-10-Version-9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Hold the threads in place. Tie a knot at the double portion of the thread and secure it to a flat surface with a strong adhesive tape (such as paper or plastic tape).

Or, you can pin the thread to your pants with a needle, tie it to a drawer handle, or clip it to a sign cover.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e1/Make-a-Chevron-Friendship-Bracelet-Step-11-Version-9.jpg/v4-728px-Make- a-Chevron-Friendship-Bracelet-Step-11-Version-9.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e1/Make-a-Chevron-Friendship- Bracelet-Step-11-Version-9.jpg/v4-728px-Make-a-Chevron-Friendship-Bracelet-Step-11-Version-9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:259,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:410,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Sort paragraphs only. Arrange the thread segments in a symmetrical fashion so that each side creates two groups of adjacent threads in the same color order.

For example, the order of paragraphs would look like this: 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1
Imagine there is an invisible line in the middle and line up the segments in the same color order on either side of the line. Repeat this order one more time with the remaining segments.

Start making the right knots. First, you take the rightmost thread, tie two knots to the adjacent thread (second from the right).

To tie the right knot, make a 90-degree angle by placing the first thread over the second. Next, you thread the first thread under the second thread and tighten.
Note: Remember to create two knots on each thread.
After you’ve tied the outermost thread to the next thread, you do the same with the next inner thread. Continue this process until the knots reach the center.
Note: the first (rightmost) pointer should now be centered.

Start making the left knots. Take the leftmost piece of string that is symmetrical with the right part just tied and start making knots towards that part.

To tie the left knot, do the same thing as with the right knot, but in the opposite direction. Make a 90 degree angle by placing the first thread over the second and threading the first thread under the second and then tightening.
That’s it, you’ve finished half of the double V pattern

Complete the other half. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the left half of the double V pattern.

Create middle knots. Tie the knot in the left or right direction with two pieces of thread in the middle to connect the two sides. Remember to tie the knot twice).

Note: if you followed the steps in the right order, by this point the two midpoints should be the same color and you’ll see a V-shaped pattern.

Continue the process. Repeat steps 4, 5, and 6 until the bracelet is the desired length, always starting with the two middle stitches and creating outward knots on each side to complete the symmetrical double pattern.

Complete bracelet. Tie a knot at the end of the bracelet and use the excess thread to tie the bracelet to your or a friend’s wrist.

Or, you can attach a button to wear the bracelet easily. Attach the button to the end of the bracelet by threading two threads into the two holes on the button. Next, you tie the two threads together and trim the excess of all the threads (including the one that isn’t used for knotting). At the other end of the bracelet, you’ve got a circle created from tying the knot to hold the thread in place. Attach the button to that circle once you’ve completed the steps.

Advice

Tie the double knots so they don’t come loose.
If the bracelet is twisted, simply iron it.
You can buy embroidery thread at any sewing supply store.
Choose a different color combination for each event, for example, pink, red and white for Valentine’s Day or red and green for Christmas.
Every time you make a bracelet, remember to arrange the segments only according to the above rule.
Make friendship bracelets to give to friends for Christmas.
After cutting the excess thread on the button of the bracelet, you should apply glue to the area you just cut so that the knot does not come apart.
