It has been a little over a year since this video has been uploaded and I am so shocked by how much attention and popularity this video continues to gain. Because of the similar comments I am still seeing that had been mentioned when it first came out as well, I am going to reiterate and add on to last year's community post: When I uploaded this video, I had NO idea it would be watched by so many knotters with different levels of experience. There were (and still are) a lot of people viewing who are very new to bracelets and I didn't originally expect that, so I didn’t slow down and didn’t explain things clear enough. It is worth mentioning that simple does not equate to beginner, though, and a lot of people have been getting that confused--I never said in the video that this was a beginner tutorial. But for those of you who are new to bracelets and were unable to understand what I was teaching, I sincerely apologize. Not every single video of mine will be beginner friendly, but I do take many comments I receive into consideration and I am ALWAYS trying to do better with teaching. I welcome constructive criticism (NOT *HATE*) and even encourage it, so please don't hesitate to leave a comment on my videos. Your feedback and input is super important because it helps me learn how to do better moving forward.

I'm officially done trying to do this, first I got measurements wrong, then i did the pattern until my first string was in the middle, but I missed the part where you said to tie the two middle strings together. So now I can't start over and I'm low-key mad

I use to make these a lot years ago. I sold them at Grateful Dead shows. The biggest one I ever made went from my wrist almost to my elbow. It was rainbow colors and so beautiful! It was 8 bracelets made into one. Great tutorial

how did you make the beginning like the loop at the top

do you think i should make certain strings longer since they are used more?

create a pattern for this on bracelet book or friendship bracelets please

For anyone wondering how to do the loop she did: 1. Lay out you string with one longer piece all the way to the left 2. Start at the middle of your string and make forward backwards knots as far as you prefer 3. Use the longer string and only the longer string That's really it I guess. It's not that complicated
