Pull the first string under the second and then back through itself to form a knot.

Pull the knot to the top of the second string until it is secure, then repeat to form a second knot and pull it to the top as well.

8
Repeat the knotting process on the third string, using the new second string to make two knots.

Put the second string where the third string used to be, and repeat the knotting process again on the fourth string so that you now have a solid stripe of color as the first layer of the bracelet.
