The most popular way of making a woven bracelet is through a series of macrame knots. Braided bracelet patterns guide you through the different techniques used in macrame. The half hitch is the most basic knot that, when repeated, creates a strong, overlapping band. If you continuously tie the half hitch on the same side, you’ll have a twisted cord. By alternating the sides of the half hitch, you’ll achieve a straight cord.
Customize the bracelet with colored macrame cords and beads. Create a pattern of your own or spell out your friend’s name within the braids. If you’re designing a friendship bracelet, you won’t need to add any clasps, since you’ll be tying the bracelet directly onto your friend’s wrist.
