Materials
- Several skeins of embroidery floss or another cotton thread, cut into 80-cm (32-inch) sections
- 1.2 m (4 ft) embroidery floss or another cotton thread of a different color (this thread will design the cross pattern; in the example, black)
Directions
Begin the cross 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, follow the pattern to make a chevron.
- Make a chevron with threads 1 and 8.
- Start a chevron with threads 2 and 7.
NB: Don't make knots on threads 1 and 8.
- Make 2 backward knots with thread 8 on thread 2 and 2 forward knots with thread 1 on thread 7.
- Repeat the previous 2 steps with threads 3 and 8, then 6 and 1.
Finish the cross pattern and repeat
- Finish the cross by repeating the same 2 steps with threads 4 and 8, then 5 and 1.
- The cross is finished. Continue making an inverse chevron with threads 2 and 7.
