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? …

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 …
