BEFORE YOU BEGIN making your friendship bracelet, you should know how to make a Right Hand Double Knot

color in slots 2 & 9 (pink), 3 & 8 (black), 4 & 7 (white) & 5 & 6
(green). This will align the colors of your bracelet pattern.
5. To start, you will need to make 4 single Arrows (see Arrow Pattern for
instructions). One with each of your 4 colors in order (pink, black,
white & green).

your diamond.
