Rainbow Plaid Friendship Bracelet Tutorial [CC]

[@shouldibescared2383]

This is the first full bracelet that I’ve completed, since I usually give up because of boredom, but I’m really proud of this bracelet because it was complex enough to keep me entertained and motivated.

[@Craftanatic]

That is the best kind of challenge to have!! I’m so glad to hear you were successful at it too!

[@emochickenzz]

This design is so cool and its a great tutorial! I'm almost done with my bracelet 😊

[@carolinestocks1675]

OMG this is so cute! I’m so going to make this soon!! Your videos are great and really easy to understand for me so well done and keep up the good work! 😄😄

[@mrs.stefonmeyers7156]

I've been avoiding this pattern for so long because I though I would have to do it row-by-row, but segment knotting is so much easier, regardless of the bumpy sides. Thank you for making this so easy :)

[@Craftanatic]

Unfortunately bumpy edges are unavoidable in some patterns, but I don’t really like using the straight edges technique on normal patterns so I just tell myself to deal with it. 😅 Thank you for watching!

[@mrs.stefonmeyers7156]

@@Craftanatic I really don't mind the bumpy edges. And the straight edges technique seems confusing for normal patterns, I wouldn't be able to keep track of what goes where, I only use it in alphas 😂

[@alexandrah4011]

These videos are so easy for me to understand I love them so much thank you for making them 💜😃

[@Craftanatic]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@alexandrah4011]

The bracelet turned out so amazing

[@culinarycreations]

I absolutely loved this pattern! It was easier than it looked, I used some warm colours instead of a rainbow, and it looked sooo cute! Thank you so much!

[@Craftanatic]

That is so awesome, I’m glad it turned out so well! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@janine1744]

wow gorgeous colours and amazing bracelets thanks so much I have never seen this pattern before Merry Christmas lovely.

[@Craftanatic]

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

[@soulcatcher_pajome]

Just amazing tutorial!! I have basically no experience with making friendship bracelets, but this video left no open questions and I easily made this one :D Thank you so much!

[@Craftanatic]

That is seriously one of the greatest things to hear! Thank YOU for watching!!

[@iamcolorblind2140]

wow this bracelet looks really cool and you explained it really well im going to make on right now

[@Craftanatic]

Hope you enjoy knotting this pattern!

[@annkhoo9786]

Yay another one!! I'm going to try it today!

[@thisisdefinitelytrix]

thanks for the tutorial. How do we know how long the strands should be?

[@jojochavez2011]

thank you so much its coming out so cute i love the way you took your time to teach us

[@Craftanatic]

Thanks you for watching!

[@emeilish]

Great video!! ive been trying to do bracelet pattern #27442 i was maybe wondering if you could do a tutorial on that because my friends b-day is coming and she LOVES the pattern. Thank you so much if you can! (btw i LOVE this tutorial! defiantly trying it :)

[@Craftanatic]

XxWolfieEditzxX Thank you! Happy early birthday to your friend! I haven’t given much thought to making alpha tutorials so I can’t guarantee I’ll make it, but I’ll consider it! In the meantime, Masha Knots has great videos on all things alphas!

[@emeilish]

Okay! thanks so much for replying, it means a lot. Ill tell her you said happy b-day! And thank you for considering it :)

[@conni5179]

When you segment knot a plaid pattern you need to have a very strong holding strings and have them straight then it is faster and straight and I do it by segments so at first the sides and then I do the middle and the string you make your knot onto has to be tension every time. When you think there is a bigger distance between two strings than the others pull the string through the 4 twice and then do the second part of the knot then you can make it more even and have the distance the same

[@Craftanatic]

conni I had tried to segment knot a different pattern (that I showed in the video) and it turned out really bumpy, but I agree that tension is generally SUPER important in all friendship bracelet patterns and that could’ve been my problem there.

[@13Calisson]

Adding an extra thread on each side of the pattern (No matter the color because we will not see it at all), and making a backward/forward knot on the left side withe the #2 thread and a backward/forward knot on the right side with the before last thread will make your bracelet right straight 😉

[@conni5179]

@@Craftanatic but not only the tension of the knotting but the holding strind is important that it is not bumpy additional to the strings on the side

[@Craftanatic]

Vedova Florence I tried to do the straight edges technique on a different pattern and wasn’t totally happy with it haha, so there are just things that even more advanced makers need to work on. :P I didn’t talk much about it because Masha Knots has a video all about it.

[@llama3289]

New subscriber!Your videos are the best and really easy to make you make the instructions real easy thank you!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗🤗🤗And you deserve more subscribers and views!!!😽

[@renupunjabi849]

Can you pls teach the other two bracelets as they are looking really awesome

[@dianaferusova5695]

So cool bracelet🤩

[@Sara-y1p1i]

Do you have a tutorial video for the candy stripe bracelet you show (right after the pink/purple two-tone)?

[@Craftanatic]

I don't, but the pattern is linked in the description box 😊 if you look at it on a diagonal it's really only one step and very repetitive and easy!

[@garakstailorshop]

What is this pattern on bracelet book? 3:04

[@nicole.m42]

I love this bracelet its so cute!! I'm definetly going to make this soon. I just found your channel and your voice is so relaxed and makes your video so easy to understand!!

[@Craftanatic]

Thank you for the kind words! Happy to have you around! 😊

[@lizzybizzy3017]

How did you do the bracelet you showed after the purple plaid one? You said you used a candy stripe method? Can you show how you did that one? I love it! 🙏🏽☺️

[@Craftanatic]

Lizzy Bizzy You can do candy stripe method on it and it makes the pattern easier to do! I have the pattern linked in the description box that you can follow. :)

[@lizzybizzy3017]

Craftanatic , I know but I have trouble reading patterns so I like visual instructions or written instructions. I make most of my bracelets via tutorials. 😕 Would I just do alternating backward forward knots for every row the entire bracelet? (Like the plaid section of this bracelet) Or is there another way of describing it? Thanks so much!! ☺️

[@Craftanatic]

Lizzy Bizzy I can understand that! In the plaid pattern you’re talking about, you can do the candy stripe method and follow the pattern online sort of diagonally if that makes sense? OR you can put all of your strings in pairs of two then do forward knots with those, then you take out the outermost left and right strands and make new pairs then do backward knots with them. And you just repeat that until you build up the pattern!

[@lizzybizzy3017]

Craftanatic, yesssss! Omg thank you so much! That’s exactly what I needed to hear/ “read”. 🤗 Makes perfect sense.

[@Craftanatic]

Lizzy Bizzy Awesome! I’m glad I could explain it well! 😊

[@verarossakoff6244]

Hello! 👋🏻 in about five minutes you have completed the first row of colours but have not explained what you do with the colour strands on the right that have not been threaded. Could you please explain? ❤️

[@gio1594]

im trying to do the bracelet and its coming out as 2 separate ones . the colored strings as one and the white strings as one

[@alexandrah4011]

It worked for me if I were you I would watch the video before making the bracelet then try to make it again

[@luvlykenziebackupacc4591]

You know what. This one looks a bit more interesting than the wave one so ima try it instead! Thx so much! :)

[@coffeewithkarlie]

how did it go?? i’m about to try it but i don’t know how time consuming this is! ahhh

[@Craftanatic]

How time-consuming a pattern is just depends on how slow or fast you knot. 🙂

[@iluvs.]

Can you also make a video on how to make your bracelet’s sides more straight than wavy?

[@Craftanatic]

Masha Knots has a straight edges tutorial already but I don’t use that technique. My straight knotting just came with years of practice.

[@iluvs.]

@@Craftanatic Oh Tysm

[@dresdenrenaud1180]

This is my new fave but I haven’t been able to figure out what you did with your starting tail? I’m trying to find an easy loop start… any ideas?

[@KCrochet_16]

This is amazing and very easy steps. Thank you for sharing this tutorial. Btw, Can ask something what you called the yarn that you are using in making the bracelet?

[@Craftanatic]

Thank you for your feedback! I use embroidery floss to make friendship bracelets. 🙂 DMC is a very popular and well-known brand but there are also many similar and more affordable brands to choose from.

[@kaytheweirdo4080]

Hey I have a question can you do the pattern with even number strings I've tried with 4 and 4 but it's not really working

[@Craftanatic]

kaykay theskeleton I would see if you could find a pattern on Braceletbook or friendship-bracelets.net because sometimes people submit variations to some patterns. I’ve never tried it with an even number and I’m not good at tweaking patterns so I wouldn’t really know :(

[@g0tnothing2do]

Hi! I'm wondering if there is a pattern where I can use 10-12 strings without it being so thick?

[@kimberlyc2620]

How did you do the tail at the end???

[@kenziebudrik7195]

Could you make one without the plaid in it and have it the same. If you look up pattern number 4766 rainbow string bracelet it shows the pictures of it but I’m to stupid to figure it out by the picture.

[@Craftanatic]

Oooh, you’d actually pretty much just follow it the same way, but instead of the back and forth of the plaid it’s just candy stripes! If that still doesn’t make sense, though, I can consider making a tutorial. :)

[@kenziebudrik7195]

Craftanatic um yea I’m very very new to this so it would be awesome if you could make a tutorial! :)

[@dombowden5458]

Oh that one looks amazing too. Just wish I knew how to read the patterns. I've watched countless videos on how and they confused me more than anything.

[@poetixtragedy]

Can you do this with less string so that is thinner?? I didn't know if you had to have an odd number or even.. if that makes sense lol

[@Craftanatic]

I haven’t tried it myself, but I think you could as long as you include a black string per color as well!

[@meronmountains7052]

I finished my bracelet. (Thanks to your lovely tutorial.) However, you don't show how to Finnish the tie ends. I wanted to do triangle ends but it's not working out because this bracelet end has a slant to it. Any Ideas?

[@Craftanatic]

[@genemassam9272]

i can't do it. I've been trying for a few hours and I can't even get past the first row because my base colour keeps covering the colour that's meant to be showing

[@mrs.stefonmeyers7156]

If that was your first time making a bracelet of this type try a few easier ones and then you can try this one. Because at first I tried jumping to the advanced stuff too but I ended up failing. Masha knots has some very helpful tutorials for beginners.

[@Rex-vi4jo]

Is the black row that you knot from right to left backwards knots? Or towards still?

[@Craftanatic]

Rex Which part are you mentioning? All black strings go from left to right with forward knots, even in that plaid section.

[@lostinhere2741]

Why did my bracelet became a wavy shape ? 😢 Colored parts looks bigger than black ones i think i did someting wrong but idk what 😢

[@Craftanatic]

You did nothing wrong per se, it’s just the nature of the bracelet because of the knotting structure. If you look closely enough, the bracelets I showed aren’t straight either. Most of the time it’s all in the tension, which takes a while to figure out since all patterns behave so differently.
