Creating a Unique, Symmetrical Friendship Bracelet

In today’s video, join Kevin, aka AWOL, as we dive into designing a bold and completely unique friendship bracelet pattern using 16 strands. With a playful mix of red, orange, and purple, we explore a freeform approach to pattern-making, creating symmetry and randomness simultaneously. This tutorial shows you how to work creatively on graph paper and push beyond traditional designs to make a bracelet that’s truly one-of-a-kind.

No strict pattern rules here—just keeping track of where each strand goes while experimenting with color and shape. You’ll also learn tricks for flipping designs to maintain symmetry, making it easy to replicate your work on each side of the bracelet. Thanks to all our Patreon and YouTube supporters for helping make projects like these possible! Ready to create something new?

Hey everyone! In today’s video, I’m sharing the process of making this stunning 16-string bracelet with red, orange, yellow, and purple fluorescent colors—perfect for those looking to make something both intricate and vibrant! This bracelet took about 2.5 hours to complete due to its complex knot structure and thinner, single-strand design, allowing for more detail within a smaller space. For anyone looking to add an intricate piece to their collection, this tutorial has all the details!

Balancing random designs with symmetry
Tips for staying on track with complex patterns
Avoiding common mistakes by checking color sequences
