Last week I decided to make a friendship bracelet out of yarn – totally inspired by this. I figured yarn would be easier than fabric and I didn't get complicated with the pattern, just stuck with a traditional knotted bracelet style.
This was my first attempt but then I decided to switch to white and candy colors. I used two different kinds of white and then one rainbow colored yarn (that was quadrupled to make it thick).
I love how it turned out but I would totally want to make it wider. I also couldn't get it to stop curling up on the bottom end, not sure if that was just from pulling too tightly?
This finished "weaving" is 15×4" (which is not counting the knot up top or the tails) and used 12 different lengths of yarn (though some were tripled and quadrupled). I started with pieces of yarn that were nearly two yards (72 inches) long.
Fun to experiment, but now I want to see how I can make it bigger and more interesting…
