Materials
- Several skeins of embroidery floss or other cotton thread, cut into 80-cm (32-inch) sections
- 1.2 m (4 ft) of embroidery floss of a different color (this thread will make the diamond pattern; in the example, green)
Directions
Begin the diamond pattern
For a bracelet measuring about 15 cm (6 inches):
- Knot several threads together (here, 8 threads in 4 different colors).
- With each strand of thread, make an inverse chevron.
- Start an inverse chevron with threads 1 and 8.
NB: Don't make knots on threads 4 and 5.
- Make 2 forward knots with thread 4 on thread 8 and 2 backward knots with thread 5 on thread 1.
- Continue in the same way (with inverse chevrons) with threads 2 and 7, then 3 and 6.
Complete the diamond pattern and repeat
- Finish the diamond by making 2 backward knots with thread 4 on thread 5.
- Start over with a chevron with threads 8 and 1.
