In a round bracelet pattern, you can choose any number of threads all a different color. Usually 6 to 8 threads are recommended for making such a bracelet. Some people also choose to use the same color threads twice, but in this case you will have to pay extra attention to the knots. First you have to tie an overhand knot to tie all threads together. After that you will start weaving by selecting the color you wish to appear first in your friendship bracelet.

In round friendship bracelet patterns you wrap the first thread around the others and tie the first knot.
