BFF Mini Heart Design Tutorial

1. Pick 2 different colors. You will use 2 strands of each color you choose. (The example uses 2 strands of pink & 2 strands of white).

2. Align string, fold in half, and tie knot ½ inch from fold forming a loop.

3. Attach your ½ inch loop to MYFBM under the butterfly clip.

4. Separate strings by placing one string per slot. Note: Use the same color in slot 2, 4, 6 & 8 (pink) & 3, 5, 7 & 9 (white). This will align the colors of your bracelet pattern.

5. To begin, take string #5 (white) and make a left hand double knot with string #4 (pink). String #5 (white) will now be in slot 4.

6. Take string #7 (white) and make 2 left hand double knots. One each, on string #6 (pink) and one on string #5 (pink). String #7 (white) will now be in slot 5.

7. Now take string #8 (pink) and make a right hand double knot with string #9 (white). String #8 (pink) will now be in slot 9.

8. Take string #7 (pink) and make 2 right hand double knots. One each, on string #8 (white) and one on string #9 (pink). String #7 (pink) will now be in slot 9.

9. Use string #6 (pink) and make 3 right hand double knots. On each, on string #7 (white), string #8 (pink) & string #9 (pink). String #6 (pink) will now be in slot 9.

10. Take string #2 (pink) and make 7 right hand double knots. One each, on string #3 (white), string #4 (white), string #5 (white), string #6 (white), string #7 (pink), string #8 (pink) & string #9 (pink). String #2 (pink) will now be in slot 9.

11. Start again with new string #2 (now white) and make 6 right hand double knots. One each, on string #3 (white), string #4 (white), string #5 (white), string #6 (pink), string #7 (pink) & string #8 (pink). String #2 (white) will now be in slot 8.

12. Again use your new string #2 (white) and make 4 right hand double knots. One each, on string #3 (white), string #4 (white), string #5 (pink) & string #6 (pink). String #2 (white) will now be in slot 6.

13. Take string #2 (white) and make 2 right hand double knots. One each, on string #3 (white) & one on string #4 (pink). String #2 (white) will now be in slot 4.

14. At this point the strings in slots 2, 4, 6 & 8 should all be white. The strings in slots 3, 5, 7 & 9 should all be pink. This is opposite of how you started.

15. Take string #5 (pink) and make a left hand double knot with string #4 (white). String #5 (pink) will now be in slot 4.

21. Start with string #2 (pink) and make 6 right hand double knots. One each, on string #3 (pink), string #4 (pink), string #5 (pink), string #6 (white), string #7 (white) & string #8 (white). String #2 (pink) will now be in slot 8.

24. Repeat steps 5 – 23 from above to continue your pattern until your bracelet is long enough to fit your wrist.
