This easy stitch takes just a minute to learn and creates a gorgeous two-toned pattern that will be the envy of all your friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Friendship-bracelet-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Friendship-bracelet-1.jpg?resize=900%2C598&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ladder Stitch Friendship Bracelet | Homan at Home\" class=\"wp-image-9730\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In elementary school, I was the kid who couldn&#8217;t make friendship bracelets. Maybe it was because my parents never sent me to&nbsp;summer camp, but I tried to learn the&nbsp;basic knots, and all I ever ended up with was a mess. This design saved my social status in about 5th grade, and I&#8217;m happy to pass it on to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes this different from other friendship bracelets? For one, it&#8217;s extremely simple. No complicated&nbsp;pattern charts&nbsp;or dealing with 500 strings. You have four threads, only two of which move at all. Even I can keep track of that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing I love about this version is that you can use a ton of different mediums. This looks great with yarn, with&nbsp;old t-shirts&nbsp;cut into strips, with the&nbsp;traditional embroidery floss, and even with paracord. I love the way yarn gives you a funky chunky look, so that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to use in this tutorial. Feel free to experiment and create your own exciting looks!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why you want this craft:&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>beginner bracelets<\/li><li>easy&nbsp;craft&nbsp;project<\/li><li>cheap<\/li><li>cool accessory<\/li><li>fun for&nbsp;kids of all ages&nbsp;(and adults too!)<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Materials&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For this project, you&#8217;ll need four things:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Thread, Yarn, or Paracord:&nbsp;<\/strong>You can use many different materials for this project. The classic is&nbsp;embroidery thread, which is cheap as can be and comes in all the colors of the rainbow. Yarn of all kinds works (even&nbsp;t-shirt yarn!), and you can even use paracord or other heavy-duty materials depending on what kind of&nbsp;finished look&nbsp;you&#8217;re going for.<\/li><li><strong>Tape:&nbsp;<\/strong>You&#8217;re going to use this to stick your thread to the stable surface so that you can keep the tension while braiding. I recommend painters tape, since it comes off easily without ruining your thread.<\/li><li><strong>Surface:&nbsp;<\/strong>When I was a kid, many kids would carry a piece of cardboard with a notch in the top to make bracelets on. That works fine. I like to make mine seated at the kitchen table, so I just use the table for my surface. You simply need somewhere you can tape your thread to.<\/li><li><strong>Scissors:&nbsp;<\/strong>These are here for obvious reasons. You&#8217;ve gotta cut the thread somehow!<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1 | Cut Thread<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by cutting four lengths from your thread. Two of these will go in the middle. They should be about 1 foot long, and they will never be seen, so feel free to use whatever color. These are stealth threads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other two will form your pattern. They should be around 3 feet long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a&nbsp;general rule, this looks best when you choose two&nbsp;different colors of thread&nbsp;with high contrast. I&#8217;m going to use the&nbsp;color combination&nbsp;of &nbsp;black and white for the tutorial so it&#8217;s easy to follow. My middle threads are light blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2 | Get Set Up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take all your yarn, make it even on one end, and tie that end into a&nbsp;simple overhand knot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, tape your knotted yarn to the surface you&#8217;re going to use. Your set up should look like this:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Friendship-bracelet-3.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Friendship-bracelet-3.jpg?resize=900%2C598&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ladder Stitch Friendship Bracelet | Homan at Home\" class=\"wp-image-9702\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 |&nbsp;Right Side<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start on the&nbsp;right side&nbsp;of your set up. For me, that&#8217;s the white&nbsp;piece of floss.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Put the right hand thread over the middle two threads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Friendship-bracelet-4.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Friendship-bracelet-4.jpg?resize=900%2C598&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ladder Stitch Friendship Bracelet | Homan at Home\" class=\"wp-image-9703\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Loop the thread under the middle threads and return it to the&nbsp;right side.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pull the loop taut. You&#8217;re basically creating a\u00a0small knot\u00a0with the thread. Don&#8217;t pull the knot too tight, or leave it too loose. You want the bracelet to lay flat with each row snugly fitting next to the previous one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Friendship-bracelet-5.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Friendship-bracelet-5.jpg?resize=900%2C598&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9704\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4. |&nbsp;Left Side<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you&#8217;re going to go to the other side of your set up. I&#8217;ll be working with the&nbsp;second strand&nbsp;(black).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re going to follow the same instructions as before. Put the&nbsp;left string&nbsp;over the middle two threads.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loop it under the middle threads and return it to the&nbsp;left side.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Friendship-bracelet-7.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Friendship-bracelet-7.jpg?resize=900%2C598&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9706\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pull the loop taut.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re going to continue steps 3 and 4 until the bracelets reaches the length you want. Since&nbsp;wrist sizes&nbsp;differ, I&#8217;d recommend checking before you cut anything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Friendship-bracelet-6.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Friendship-bracelet-6.jpg?resize=900%2C598&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ladder Stitch Friendship Bracelet | Homan at Home\" class=\"wp-image-9705\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Optional Step | Add Bling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to add beads or charms to create your own&nbsp;beaded bracelet, you can simply slide them on at the beginning of steps 3 and 4. You can create your&nbsp;own patterns&nbsp;by alternating bead colors or only putting beads on one side. You can even hang a charm from the&nbsp;middle of the bracelet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5 | Finishing Off<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To finish off, tie your threads with an overhand knot. You can then knot the two knots and trim the&nbsp;loose ends&nbsp;to create&nbsp;easy friendship bracelets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Friendship-bracelet-9.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"598\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homanathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Friendship-bracelet-9.jpg?resize=900%2C598&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Ladder Stitch Friendship Bracelet | Homan at Home\" class=\"wp-image-9707\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u200bTips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Keep steady tension on your threads.
