How to Make an Inverse Chevron Friendship Bracelet
Friendship bracelets are traditionally made from colorful embroidery threads. As the name implies, they are meant to be made for and then given to a friend, who will then generally return the gesture. The inverse chevron is a repeating "v" shaped design. The finished product looks rather elaborate and complex, but don't be discouraged. After the first few rows, it will feel almost as simple as a single stranded friendship bracelet.
