Two Colors, One Friend

You need two colors of string. Red and blue is good. Any two colors are good.

Take four strings: two red, two blue. Make them long. Two arms long is good.

Put the four strings together and make a double knot at the top.

Now take a red string. Put it over a blue string, then under it, and pull. Do that again. Do it ten times.

Then change color. Ten knots with blue. Then red again, then blue again.

Don’t go back and open a knot. It’s very small and it’s very hard.

Stop when the bracelet is long. Make one more double knot at the end and cut the strings.

Your first bracelet is not very good. Your second bracelet is better. Give the second one to your friend and put the first one on your arm. Now you have one bracelet and one happy friend.
