Rainbow Twist

Step 2

Working in ladder stitch pick up 2x R10A and pass down the second R10A added in the previous step, up the first R10A added in the previous step and up the first R10A of this row. The two new rocailles should sit neatly on top of the pair added in step 1. Figure 2.

Step 4

Following step 3, work another 15 rows of ladder stitch. Figure 4.

Step 6

Pick up 2x R10A and pass down the second R10A added in the previous row and up the third. Figure 6a. Pick up 2x R10A and pass down the fourth R10A added in the previous step, up the first and then up the first R10A added in this step. Figure 6b and 6c.

Step 8

Using the same method, work another 14 rows of herringbone stitch using R10B. Figure 8.

Step 10

After you have completed the final row of the last color block, ladder stitch 2x R10G to the last 2 R10G added. Figure 10a. Using the same method, create a strip of ladder stitch 2x R10G wide and 18 rows long. Join the final ladder stitched pair to the remaining 2x R10G at the end of the rope. Pass through the connecting rocailles again to secure the join. Tie off and trim all remaining threads. Figure 10b.

Step 12

To wear the twisted bracelet:

Hold one of the loops against the wrist and wrap the rope around the wrist a single time. Pass the remaining rope under and over the section on the wrist and wrap it around a second time. Pass the remaining rope under and over both strands on the wrist and wrap it around a third time. Pass the remaining rope under and over the 3 strands on the wrist and wrap it around a fourth time. Tuck both ends under all the strands, pass the ribbon through the loops and tie a bow. Figure 12.
