AKA-AWOL

Hey everyone, it’s Kevin (aka AWOL), and today I’m taking you along as I invent a brand-new arrowhead-inspired bracelet design—live, unscripted, and with absolutely no idea how it’ll turn out. 🧠 The idea? A simplified arrowhead where each color only makes a small square before …

Today, we’re doing something a little wild. I’m Kevin (aka AWOL), and in this video, I take elements from two different friendship bracelet patterns—a narrow arrowhead and a stretched-out variation—and combine them into a brand new design. If you’ve ever wondered how to create your …

Welcome back! Today I’m taking a deep dive into pattern #3600 from friendship-bracelets.net – a quirky little arrowhead-inspired design that threw me for a loop with its unusual string layout. We’re doing things a bit differently: no pattern-following, just puzzle-solving and color testing from scratch. …

Today we’re taking a fresh look at pattern #46 from friendship-bracelets.net — but with a twist! 🔀 While this design starts out with familiar chevrons, it’s loaded with zigzags that make it a bit more intense than it first appears. I decided to flip and …

Hey friends, Kevin here—aka AWOL—and today we’re diving into a fresh take on the elongated arrowhead pattern. This time, instead of stretching it horizontally, we’re flipping the direction and elongating vertically, creating a design where the cool colors dominate the center and hot colors blaze …

Hey, it’s Kevin—aka AWOL—and today we’re scaling things up! I’m taking the elongated arrowhead pattern from our previous project and doubling it to see how it holds up… and to test the idea of turning this design into a bracelet wrap, can cover, or even …

Hey everyone, Kevin here—aka AWOL—and today we’re doing something totally spontaneous. I’m building a brand new friendship bracelet pattern from scratch, right here on screen, with zero guarantees that it’ll work out… but that’s part of the fun! Using leftover strings from earlier projects, I’m …

Today we’re trying something totally new—starting our bracelet from the top and letting the middle just happen! 😲 I’m using the same swatch of colors from a previous project (because we still have string left over, of course) and kicking things off with the elongated …

We’re back in the pattern maker — and today, I’m building out a brand new bracelet design using the 8-color swatch I showed you yesterday! This one features a single-stranded 16-string layout and uses an elongated arrowhead style that stretches colors out into bold, layered …

We’re back with the double-wide version of my signature bracelet pattern — the same arrowhead-inspired, mirrored design, just scaled up! This is the exact same structure as the single-stranded bracelet I made earlier, but now twice as wide for bigger projects like bags or statement …

This one’s personal — I’m bringing back my signature bracelet pattern in a color combo I haven’t touched since the late ’80s: blue and purple. 💙💜 This design started from a chevron/zigzag experiment and evolved into something much deeper — a mirrored, arrowhead-inspired pattern that …
