Reordering the Threads

Basic Friendship Bracelet Denise D. Witmer
When you make a pass in a friendship bracelet pattern, you then reorder the threads, so that you can go on to the next step. This is very important and may be the #2 reason people make mistakes when making friendship bracelets. So remember, after doing a friendship knot, the threads have changed places. Put them in the new order and after completing the row, reorder the threads in your head.
