Hey friends! 👋 Today we’re experimenting with Pattern 67 from friendship-bracelets.net — but instead of following it as-is, we rotate it counterclockwise and rebuild it from the top down. And honestly?At the start… I wasn’t even sure this would work. 😅 🎨 The Plan Instead …

Hey friends! 👋 Today we’re experimenting with Pattern 45 from friendship-bracelets.net — but instead of following it straight… we rotate it counterclockwise and rebuild it from the center out. What started as an arrow-style design turned into something way more interesting. Here’s what we changed: …

Hello friends! 👋 In today’s friendship bracelet tutorial, I take a super simple beginner dovetail pattern (4 colors, 16 strings) and completely transform it by rotating, flipping, and re-mapping the strings to create something way more dynamic. What started as an easy bracelet quickly turned …

Today we’re upping the chaos—but also the control. This new freestyle bracelet starts in the center, not the top, allowing for a huge central diamond and full symmetry in two directions. It’s part of my ongoing experiment into randomized pattern design, inspired by South American …

Today we’re doing something wild. This pattern uses 24 single strands, 4 colors, and absolutely no chill. 😂 Inspired by a Reddit user asking, “Can someone make a pattern out of randomness?” I decided to try. We’re creating a bracelet that feels chaotic but is …

Welcome back, friends! It’s Kevin (akaAWOL), and today we’re doing something a little different—I’m creating a completely new bracelet pattern based only on a color idea and a little swatch I sketched up! 🎨 We’re diving into: A hot color-heavy arrowhead pattern with multiple diamonds …

Ever wonder what happens when you take a simple 2-color bracelet pattern and explode it into a full 6-color rainbow? 😲 In today’s video, I’m walking you through exactly that process — from choosing colors to mapping out the pattern, to discovering surprises along the …

What happens when you have a cool idea for a bracelet… and just wing it? 🎯 In this video, I freestyle a brand-new two-color pattern using 12 strings (the same color combo from my 10-string kumi video 👀). The idea? Elongated diamonds stacked in threes, …

I was handed a bracelet fragment and asked to figure out the original pattern—no notes, no diagram, just knots and guesswork. 😅 Challenge accepted. In this video, I walk through my process of reverse engineering the pattern knot by knot. It’s a bit weird, definitely …

Hey everyone, it’s Kevin (aka AWOL), and today we’re testing something I’ve been curious about: can my new elongated arrowhead pattern work as a 12-string bracelet? Turns out—yes, with a few smart adjustments! This version takes the same concept we explored in the 16-string build …

Hey everyone, it’s Kevin (aka AWOL), and today I’m designing a brand-new arrowhead-style bracelet pattern—but with a twist: instead of stopping at one diamond, this one stacks multiple diamonds in a row, stretching the design and changing the entire rhythm. 🌀 What makes it different? …
