Silk Friendship Bracelets

Step 1

Gather Materials

• Darn Good Yarn Lace Weight Silk Yarn
• Base yarn of your choosing (in our pictures, we did a smaller version with a blue base yarn, and a thicker version with a white base yarn!)
• Scissors
• Tape

Step 2

Cut your base yarn into a 60 inch length strand, fold it in half, and tie a knot at the fold, creating a loop. Tape the top of the loop down onto a table.

Step 3

Cut 3 of your favorite colors from the Silk Cloud Sampler Pack into 60 inch length strands, and lay them horizontally under your base yarn.

Step 4

Bring the top strand of Silk Cloud Yarn over all of the other 3 yarns on the right side (the 2 other Silk Cloud Yarns and the Base Yarn), and under the 4 strands of yarn (3 Wilk Cloud Yarns and 1 Base Yarn) on the left.

Step 5

Pull this strand tightly to the top and the left

Step 6

Repeat Steps 4 + 5 on with the top strand of Silk Cloud Yarn on the left side

Step 7

Repeat Steps 4-6 with one color, until you have reached the desired thickness for that color block

Step 8

Repeat steps 4-6 for each of the consecutive colors of the Silk Cloud Yarn

Step 9

You can repeat the color blocks as well!

Step 10

Tie a simple knot at the end

Step 11

You can slip the knot through the loop you created at the beginning, almost acting as a hook!
