You’ve now repeated one rotation of the pattern. Repeat rows 1-40 three or four times until your bracelet is long enough to fit your wrist.
To Finish:
1. Once your bracelet is long enough to fit your wrist take three strings from the slots 1–4 in your left hand and three strings from slots 8 – 11 in your right hand and braid with the remaining 2 center strings.
2. Take the braided strings and tie two basic knots at the end of your friendship bracelet.
3. Unclip your friendship bracelet from the butterfly clip and cut off the excess braided section. Your friendship bracelet is ready to wear or share.
