Friendship bracelet chartsBracelet Patterns
Bracelet Patterns helps you design knotted friendship bracelets, then walks you through tying them one row at a time. Pick a pattern and your string colours and the chart builds itself, on the same knot grid printed patterns use, with an arrow on every knot. A preview shows how the finished bracelet will look, and each string gets its own cut length.
Free to download, with a one-time Pro unlock.

Questions
Is Bracelet Patterns free?
Yes. Every pattern works on up to 6 strings, with follow along mode, the Candy classics pack and a watermarked PDF. A one-time Pro unlock adds design your own, saved designs, up to 16 strings, four more pattern packs and clean PDFs.
What do F, B, FB and BF mean?
They are the four knots in friendship bracelet patterns. F is a forward knot and B a backward knot; both move the working string across. FB and BF are a forward then backward knot, or the reverse, which keep both strings in place. Every knot on the chart has an arrow that shows which one to tie.
How long should I cut my strings?
The app gives a cut length for each string. It allows 15 cm for tails, the bracelet length, and extra for every knot that string ties, so strings that do more knotting get more thread. Treat it as a guide, as tension changes how much you use.
Can I pause and come back to a bracelet?
Yes. Follow along mode remembers which row you reached for each design, and the studio keeps your last design when you leave.
