Designing a Rainbow Diamond Arrowhead Bracelet from Scratch
Welcome back, friends! It’s Kevin (akaAWOL), and today we’re doing something a little differentβI’m creating a completely new bracelet pattern based only on a color idea and a little swatch I sketched up! π¨
We’re diving into:
A hot color-heavy arrowhead pattern with multiple diamonds π
Live thoughts on color placement and symmetry π
Tips on pattern design and avoiding common mistakes βοΈ
A peek at the behind-the-scenes of my bracelet design process
This bracelet features reds, oranges, yellowsβthe hot sideβwith subtle hints of purple, blue, green, and chartreuse. Itβs a bold experiment in structure and flow, and I think it might even look amazing as a double wide!
π₯ Huge thanks to my YouTube Members for supporting my workβyour help makes it possible for me to go through so much floss without worry! π

Hey friends, itβs Kevin (akaAWOL) back againβthis time showing off the finished version of the triple diamond arrowhead bracelet I designed in the last video!
This pattern started with a simple thought: what if we stretched the end of an arrowhead pattern into three full diamonds? Turns outβitβs a whole vibe. π₯
In this video, we dive into:
- Final thoughts on the color dominance (hello yellow and orange! ππ)
- Why the cool colors barely appearβand what that means for your color planning
- Segment knotting tips and the natural flow of this pattern
- Real-time discussion on potential upgrades: a double-wide version and even turning it into a bag!
- Hidden tricks like preventing banana-curves π (you know what Iβm talking about!)
π§΅ String usage tip: This pattern burns through warm colors. If youβre replicating it, be generous with yellow and orange cuts, and keep purple shortβit’s barely used!
