Stages of work

In general, in the way that we weavebracelet 2016, you can weave a bracelet with any desired word or name. Just prepare the necessary pattern in advance. Weaving according to the pattern is very easy and convenient. So, put a sheet of paper in a cage in front of you. Write numbers from 1 to 23 on top. One cell for each number. We will weave 23 rows. And on the left vertically write numbers from 1 to 7, also allocating a separate cell for each number. We will weave 7 rubber bands in each row. We mark all the cells on the first line with dots of the same color, that is, from 1 to 23. And on the 2nd line we put dots in the first five cells, then we put a cross on the 6th, 7th and 8th cell. Then we put a dot in the 9th cell. And on the 10th, 11th and 12th cell we draw a cross again. Then 13 is a dot, 14 is a cross, 15 is a dot, 16, 17, 18 - cross, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 - dots. It is better to draw the crosses in a different color. Let's look at the third row: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 - dots, 8 - cross, 9 - dot, 10 - cross, 11 - dot, 12 - cross, 13 - dot, 14 - cross, 15 - dot, 16 - cross. From 17 to 23 - dots. Fourth row: from 1 to 6 - dots, 7 - cross, 8, 9 - dot, 10 - cross, 11 - dot, 12 - cross, 13 - dot, 14 - cross, 15 - dot. 16, 17, 18 - cross, 19 through 23 - dot. Fifth line: 1 through 5 - dot, 6 - cross, 7, 8, 9 - dot. 10 - cross, 11 - dot, 12 - cross, 13 - dot, 14 - cross. 15 - dot, 16 - cross, 17 - dot, 18 - cross, 19 through 23 - dot. Sixth line: 1 through 5 - dot, 6, 7, 8 - cross. 9 - dot, 10, 11, 12 - cross, 13 - dot, 14 - cross, 15 - dot, 16, 17, 18 - cross. From 19 to 23 - dot. Seventh line: from 1 to 23 - dot.If we look at the diagram, we will see the inscription2016. In exactly the same way, you can make a bracelet with your name, or with the word mom, and so on. Let's prepare the loom. Remove the middle row and make sure that there is no base under any 7 columns. Turn the loom so that the open sides of the columns look to the right. Let's move on directly to weaving. Now we need to weave 5 rows in one color, I have pale pink. Let's count seven columns that we will work with and stretch one elastic band of pale pink color over all seven columns of the top row. Next, throw one elastic band of the same color on the first column of the top row, turn it into a figure eight and stretch it over the first column of the bottom row. Do the same with the next 6 columns.Next, using a crochet hook, carefully, so as not to tear it, we throw the elastic band, which is stretched over 7 columns of the top row, into the center.The first row is ready!Next, we stretch the elastic band over 7 columns of the upper row again. And again we throw one elastic band over each column of the loom, turn it into a figure eight and stretch it over the opposite column of the lower row. That is, we do exactly the same as in the previous row. Again, we remove the elastic band that is stretched over all 7 columns of the upper row. Now we remove all the lower loops on each column. We pass them through the column and lower them in the center.We wove two rows.We knit three more rows in the same way. For convenience, after the row is knitted, you can bend it on the diagram. From the 6th row, we will start weaving the number 2. To do this, look at the diagram. We will throw on all the rows in the same way, but the color of the rubber bands will change. Also, when we knit the numbers, it is better to use two rubber bands so that they are better visible on the bracelet. The 6th row looks like this: 1 rubber band of the main color for 7 columns of the top row. Next, we throw on the "eights". The 1st is the main color, the 2nd is light green, 3, 4 are the main color, 5, 6 are light green, 7 is the main color. We throw on two light green ones! We drop, just like usual. We knit the following rows in accordance with the diagram. Don't forget that we use two rubber bands for the numbers. Before we throw on the "eights", we stretch one rubber band of the main color over all 7 columns of the top row. The last 5 rows, like the first ones, are woven fromone color. The bracelet is ready! All that's left is to remove it from the machine and put on the clip. To do this, we need to transfer all the rubber bands from the bottom row to the top row, that is, we transfer the rubber band from the first column of the bottom row to the first column of the top row, and we transfer the rubber band from the second column of the bottom row to the second column of the top row. We do the same with the remaining columns. It is important to hold the rubber bands with your fingers in the center so that they do not fly off.Now we put all the rubber bands from the machine on the hook.Next, hook one elastic band of the main color and pass it through all the elastic bands on the hook.Take the clip and thread the elastic from the hook through it. The New Year's souvenir in the form of a bracelet is ready!
