Designing a Beginner-Friendly Bracelet Pattern for a Class – Fancy Candy Stripes!
Today, I’m putting together a bracelet pattern for a class I’m teaching, and I wanted something simple but visually striking! This design is a variation of the classic candy stripe, featuring a bold center stripe and a smooth color flow. It only uses two types of knots, making it perfect for beginners who are learning how to read patterns and recognize knot placement.
✨ Pattern Highlights:
✅ Beginner-friendly with a simple setup
✅ Works with any 12 colors—fades, random colors, or themed palettes!
✅ Teaches how to balance string placement for loops
The full pattern will be available here!, so try it yourself! If you do, share your progress in Discord—we’d love to see your work! 💬

Today, I’m making a super beginner-friendly bracelet that’s just a small step up from the classic candy stripe! 🎨✨ This pattern only requires a simple adjustment in the middle knot, making it perfect for anyone looking to practice reading patterns and develop better control over knot direction.
The hardest part? Getting the strings in the right order at the start! Once that’s done, it’s smooth sailing. This bracelet came together in just over an hour, and I love how the colors interact—especially the way the purples land perfectly between the blue and green sections! 💜💙💚
I originally created this pattern for a bracelet-making class I’m teaching, and I’d love to hear your thoughts:
💡 Would you consider this a good beginner pattern?
💡 What was the first pattern that helped you move beyond the candy stripe?
