About
Show your support on your wrist :)
Everyone is somehow affected by either cancer, disabilities, suicide, or a medical condition. Wear this bracelet proudly to show that you are strong and support the battles of the people in your life.
You'd be surprised how many things are represented by a ribbon. If you search "awareness ribbon meanings" you'll find a huge chart of all of them. Here I'm making purple for pancreatic cancer.
Note: This tutorial is not a basic explanation of how to make this sort of friendship bracelet. It is written for those who have done this kind before (with knots shaped like 4's). But don't worry, it's easy to learn, and there's almost definitely a starter tutorial on CO+K somewhere.
Another note: When I say knot, I mean double knot. Always tie two. Also, when you're tying to the right, the knots look like 4's, and when you are tying to the left, they are backward 4's.
Last note: This is my first in-depth how-to, sorry if I'm confusing!

You Will Need

Step 1
You'll need three white strands (black would probably look really cool too) and one strand in your ribbon colour. The perfect length is twice as long as your arm for each strand. The ribbon-coloured strand should be about eight inches longer than that. Fold them in half together and tie a knot in the middle, making a loop.

Step 3
Yes, this is a horrible photo. I'm sorry. If you're on a laptop, tilt your screen way back and it'll be more visible.
If you've made chevron bracelets, this will be easy. The first four rows are upside down chevrons. First, make a knot with the two middle white threads. Then take the new right-middle thread and tie a knot on each string to the right of it, and take the new left-middle thread and tie a knot on each string to the left (in order, of course!). The first row is always weird shaped but it should look something like a ^.
A quick question, to make this an ankle bracelet would the length you have listed be okay?
