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 …

Remember that bold, color-heavy bracelet we made the other day? Today, we’re flipping the color dominance — same 16-string pattern, but this time the lightest shades are in the spotlight. 🌞💙 Using the exact same colors as before (blues + oranges/yellows), I just reordered the …

Today we’re recreating the full-size version of my everyday bracelet using a 16-string single-stranded setup — and testing if the pattern actually fits the template I’ve been using all along 😅 This is basically the extended version of Mandy’s bracelet from yesterday, with the same …

Sometimes you gotta break your own rules—and today’s bracelet does exactly that. Instead of flipping halfway through like most of my patterns, this one keeps the chevrons consistently pointing downward, and the main feature is a gray zigzag spine that cuts through the entire design …

We’re taking the original 12-string fishbone fade bracelet and upgrading it to 16 strings, swapping the blues for a bold hot-color fade—red, orange, yellow, and light yellow—and redesigning the pattern from the ground up in GIMP. This isn’t just a color swap—it’s a structural redesign. …

Today, we’re diving into the design process of a bracelet pattern that’s been sitting on my to-do list for years—seriously, I even forgot I wrote it down. The idea? A striking diamond in the center with bold dark tones and clean symmetry. Follow along as …

This is it — the final bracelet in the zigzag + arrowhead series… and the one I meant to start with all along. 🤦‍♂️ We’re working with 4 colors and 16 single strands, the smallest in the series. The idea was simple: create an off-centered …
