Reworking My Pattern with a Tighter Twist!
What happens when you take a simple pattern… and flip it—literally?
Today, I’m revisiting the four-color bracelet pattern I created from scratch and tweaking the spacing for a much tighter, more intricate look. Instead of spacing out the over-under sequences, I stack them—bringing the strands closer together and increasing the complexity while using the exact same core structure.
💡 It’s a great reminder: small changes = BIG visual shifts.

Today’s pattern is a deeper dive into Celtic-inspired design—with a tighter, more intricate twist on the version I made previously. I brought the colorful weaving closer together this time, giving the bracelet a denser, more complex feel. 💥
This pattern had me double-checking my own work multiple times—with a few frustrating “oops” moments along the way. But the result? Totally worth it.
