Chevron Friendship Bracelet Instructions

A wonderful hobby to have and to share with others is being able to make a friendship bracelet. People of any age can partake in this activity. There are so many patterns you can do. The pattern that this instructional will be focused on is the chevron pattern. In one sitting, this bracelet can take about three hours to make. Once you get into the pattern, it makes the process go by smoothly.
