Another STYLISH Friendship Bracelet Knots BAG

Hey there, fellow crafting enthusiasts! It’s AWOL, also known as Kevin, and I’m back with another exciting project. Today, we’re delving into the world of friendship bracelet bags, and I have a colorful challenge ahead. My wife has handpicked the colors for this one, and trust me, it’s a curveball that’s got me intrigued!

So, let’s talk colors. We’ve got two shades of red and two shades of purple-ish threads. Sounds simple, right? Well, here’s the twist: We’ve got three strands going into each loop, and this is where it gets interesting.

The dilemma is, with three strands, how do we arrange them? It’s not as straightforward as it seems. If we follow the same pattern as before, we end up with some unique challenges. Three of one color and three of another, it’s a puzzle to figure out.

But wait, I’ve got a creative solution! Instead of sticking with one segment, let’s go for two. This means we’ll have four loops in total, each with 24 strings. It changes the game because now we can work with six strands on each side, and I believe this opens up exciting possibilities.

Let’s dive in! I’ve chosen our first color, a lovely shade of red. We’re creating a base pattern using a simple knot technique. Three strands on each side, and we’re off to a promising start.

I know, you might be wondering about the complexity. Crafting a 24-string Kumi might sound daunting, but it’s all about practice. Whether it’s 12 strings or 24, it’s all about enjoying the journey of creation.

As we progress, you’ll notice that this project is not just about straight rows. I want it to have some flair, something that catches the eye. We’re not going for simplicity here; we’re going for artistry.

This isn’t just about me crafting. It’s about inspiring you to take on projects, experiment, and create something remarkable. I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ll come up with!

These are the colors I’ll be working with.

And here is my pattern. Remember that this is just a portion of what it would take to make the bag so adjust the number of loops you need to make the bag whatever size you want.
