Supplies
Six pieces of embroidery floss. Blue, red, orange, green, yellow, and cream.
Step 1
Start you bracelet anyway you want and set up your strings like a candystripe. For this tutorial, the setup will be blue, red, orange, green, yellow, and cream. (b,r,o,g,y,c)
Step 2
Take the blue string and make forward knots over the red, orange, green, yellow, and cream strings. Order should now be r,o,g,y,c,b
Step 3
Countinue making rows of forward knots (forward candystripes) with the other colors until your order returns to the original setup. (b,r,o,g,y,c)
Step 4
Take the cream string (c) and make backward knots over the strings yellow, green, orange, red, and blue strings. order should now be c,b,r,o,g,y
Step 5
Continue making backward knots (backward candystripes) with all the other colors until your order returns to the original setup. (b,r,o,g,y,c)
Step 6
Continue steps 2-5 until your bracelet is the desired length.
note: the only colors that will have two stripes in a row are the cream and blue strings. these strings are the ones that start off the forward candystripes and the backward candstripes. blue will always be the begining of a forward candystripe and the end of a backward candystripe. cream will be the beginning of a backward candystripe and the end of a forward candystripe.
