Friendship Bracelets : A Practical Craft Book from Search Press

Provides instructions for making a variety of bracelets from threads knotted into patterns based on those used in Central and South America. Translated from French.

Friendship is universal, crossing continents, generations and all other barriers...friendship bracelets are for young and old, teenagers and grandparents; from friend to friend or from boy to girl. You do not need any weaving equipment to make these vibrant Central and South American bracelets. Just learn two basic knots, use a safety pin to keep your work taut, and then knot colourful cotton threads into a host of different patterns. This book shows - row by row in coloured easy-to-follow diagrams - how to make twenty-two different designs of bracelet. Using eight to twelve threads per row, create chevrons, stripes, diamonds and many other patterns in a carnival of colours. When you have made your bracelet, tie it on your friend's wrist - he or she will not be able to fasten it without your help - as a lasting token of regard and affection from one person to another.
