The candy stripe friendship bracelet is one of the most common friendship bracelets that people make. To begin cut four different color strings(about 4 feet). Next make a 1/4inch loop on one end of the strings.
Step 1: Arrange the colors in a 1234 order (as shown in top left picture)
Step 2: Tie a double forward knot (or a #4 knot) with string 1 over string 2, 3 and 4. Now the strings will be in the order 2341.
Step 3: Tie a double forward knot with string 2 over string 3, 4 and 1. The strings will be ordered 3412
Step 4: Tie a double forward knot with string 3 over string 4, 1 and 2. The strings will be ordered 4123
Step 5: Tie a double forward knot with string 4 over string 1, 2 and 3. The strings should now be in the same order as you started with.
*Repeat steps 2 through 5 until the bracelet is long enough to fit around your wrist.
