Fabric Loop Bracelet

Create a bright and colourful bracelet or head band using Fabric Weaving Loops and finger knitting!
  • Step 1Decide which coloured loops you would like to include in your bracelet or head band. Separate the colours so they are organised in their colour groups and in the order that you would like them to appear.
  • Step 2Place the first loop over your index finger. Twist the loop and place over your middle finger. Twist the loop again and place over your ring finger. Twist one more time and place over your pinkie finger.
  • Step 3Place the next coloured loop over your four fingers in the same way as the first. Push this loop down so it sits just above your first loop.
  • Step 4Starting from your index finger, bring the bottom loop up and over the second loop. Continue with the remaining pieces of the bottom loop on each finger. You should now have only one loop remaining on your fingers.
  • Step 5Place a third loop onto your fingers in the same way as the first two. Repeat step 4 to release the loop at the bottom.
  • Step 6Continue adding new loops in the same way until you are happy with the length. You can check the length by wrapping it around your wrist or head.
  • Step 7Once you have reached your desired length, bring the piece of loop on your pinkie over onto your ring finger. Bring the piece of loop on your index finger over onto your middle finger.
  • Step 8Bring the bottom pieces of the loop up and over the top pieces on each finger. Remove the loop from your fingers, making sure to hold the end loop until you secure in the next step.
  • Step 9Tie the loop at each end in a knot to secure the weaving. Bring both end loops together and tie them with a double knot to finish your bracelet or head band.
  • Step 10Your Fabric Loop Bracelet or Head Band is now ready to wear or gift!
