Notes:

Before you begin making your friendship bracelet, you should know how to make a Right Hand Double Knot and Left Hand Double Knot. You can see these instructions at myfbm.com.
These instructions teach you how to complete the pattern using My Friendship Bracelet Maker. However, the pattern can be completed without the loom as well.

Instructions:

Pick two different colors. You will use two strands of each color you choose. (The example uses two strands of pink and two strands of white.)
Align string, fold in half, and tie knot 1/2 inch from fold, forming a loop.
Attach your 1/2-inch loop to MYFBM under the butterfly clip.
Separate strings by placing one string per slot. Note: Use the same color in slots 2, 4, 6, and 8 (pink) and in slots 3, 5, 7, and 9 (white). This will align the colors of your bracelet pattern.
To begin, take string #5 (white) and make a left hand double knot with string #4 (pink). String #5 (white) will now be in slot 4.
Take string #7 (white) and make two left hand double knots, one each on string #6 (pink) and string #5 (pink). String #7 (white) will now be in slot 5.
Now take string #8 (pink) and make a right hand double knot with string #9 (white). String #8 (pink) will now be in slot 9.
Take string #7 (pink) and make two right hand double knots, one each on string #8 (white) and string #9 (pink). String #7 (pink) will now be in slot 9.
Use string #6 (pink) and make three right hand double knots, one each on string #7 (white), string #8 (pink), and string #9 (pink). String #6 (pink) will now be in slot 9.
Take string #2 (pink) and make seven right hand double knots, one each on string #3 (white), string #4 (white), string #5 (white), string #6 (white), string #7 (pink), string #8 (pink), and string #9 (pink). String #2 (pink) will now be in slot 9.
Start again with new string #2 (now white), and make six right hand double knots, one each on string #3 (white), string #4 (white), string #5 (white), string #6 (pink), string #7 (pink), and string #8 (pink). String #2 (white) will now be in slot 8.
Again use your new string #2 (white) and make four right hand double knots, one each on string #3 (white), string #4 (white), string #5 (pink), and string #6 (pink). String #2 (white) will now be in slot 6.
Take string #2 (white) and make two right hand double knots, one each on string #3 (white) and string #4 (pink). String #2 (white) will now be in slot 4.
At this point the strings in slots 2, 4, 6, and 8 should all be white. The strings in slots 3, 5, 7, and 9 should all be pink. This is opposite of how you started.
Take string #5 (pink) and make a left hand double knot with string #4 (white). String #5 (pink) will now be in slot 4.
Take string #7 (pink) and make two left hand double knots, one each on string #6 (white) and string #5 (white). String #7 (pink) will now be in slot 5.
Now take string #8 (white) and make a right hand double knot with string #9 (pink). String #8 (white) will now be in slot 9.
Take string #7 (white) and make two right hand double knots, one each on string #8 (pink) and string #9 (white). String #7 (white) will now be in slot 9.
Use string #6 (white) and make three right hand double knots, one each on string #7 (pink), string #8 (white), and string #9 (white). String #6 (white) will now be in slot 9.
Take string #2 (white) and make seven right hand double knots, one each on string #3 (pink), string #4 (pink), string #5 (pink), string #6 (pink), string #7 (white), string #8 (white), and string #9 (white). String #2 (white) will now be in slot 9.
Start with string #2 (pink) and make six right hand double knots, one each on string #3 (pink), string #4 (pink), string #5 (pink), string #6 (white), string #7 (white), and string #8 (white). String #2 (pink) will now be in slot 8.
Use your new string #2 (pink) and make four right hand double knots, one each on string #3 (pink), string #4 (pink), string #5 (white), and string #6 (white). String #2 (pink) will now be in slot 6.
Again take string #2 (pink) and make two right hand double knots, one each on string #3 (pink) and string #4 (white). String #2 (pink) will now be in slot 4. At this point the strings in slots 2, 4, 6, and 8 should all be pink and the strings in slots 3, 5, 7, and 9 should all be white. This is the order of the strings when you started your bracelet.
Repeat steps 5-23 from above to continue your pattern until your bracelet is long enough to fit your wrist.
Once your bracelet is long enough to fit your wrist, take the three strings from slots 2-4 in your left hand and the three strings from slots 7-9 in your right hand and braid with the remaining two center strings.
Take the braided strings and tie two basic knots at the end of your friendship bracelet. Learn how to finish your friendship bracelet with knots or beads by visiting myfbm.com.
Unclip your friendship bracelet from the butterfly clip and cut off the excess braided section. Your bracelet is ready to wear or share!
