Today, I’m diving into my version of a Celtic-inspired friendship bracelet pattern that was requested on Instagram. After making a few tweaks, like adding extra rows for length, I created a unique bracelet with great symmetry and balance. In this video, I’ll walk you through my process and share tips on how you can adjust patterns for the perfect fit.

Whether you prefer thicker, doubled-up strings or a thinner, single-strand look, this design can be easily customized. I also share segmenting techniques that make long, straight rows easier, plus a few tricks for keeping knots consistent and balanced throughout.
