A few words before you start
This jewelry is interesting because in the end you get a wide bracelet, which, after putting on your hand, looks very stylish and can replace several trinkets at once. It is best to purchase a special machine for such a craft, this is especially true for beginners.
What do you need for work?
Before you get an answer to the question of how to weave a dragon scale bracelet and proceed directly to the execution, you need to buy the following related products:
1. Special machine for weaving.
2. Hook.
3. Gum in two colors. To make it clearer, for example, green and red rubber bands will be used.
Step-by-step instruction
For weaving, 8 columns in one row will be involved. The remaining rows can be removed.
First of all, you need to throw 4 green elastic bands on the columns, twisting them with an eight. One is put on the first two, the next on the third and fourth, then the fifth and sixth and the last two columns are activated.
The same green elastic bands, also twisted, put on over the thrown ones. One on the second and third, the next on the fourth and fifth, the third takes the fifth with the sixth and the last - the seventh and eighth.
Then you need to throw off the rubber bands below, one at a time. By this method, knitting the bottom row will be carried out.
At the next stage of weaving a bracelet from gum "dragon scales", you need to throw red irises on the posts, there should be 4 pieces.
Thus, each column carries a pair of elastic bands. Those that are below (green) must be hooked and discarded.
Then you need to put on 3 green rubber bands and knit the entire bottom row, where is a pair of rubber bands.
Then put on red elastic bands (4 pieces). So, it turns out that each column is decorated with two irises. The parts located below are thrown off, and then 3 green ones are put on, and again you need to throw off those that are below.
How to weave a dragon scale bracelet further? You need to consistently throw 4 rubber bands red, knit the bottom row, throw 3 more pieces also red and throw off the bottom ones. Then the same work is done with green rubber bands. After some time, you get a small multi-colored grid. The work is performed until the decoration reaches the desired length.
How to shut down?
There is nothing complicated, you need to fix the red rubber on four columns and throw off the bottom row. After that, one elastic band will remain on each column, and from the very last one it is necessary to transfer to a column standing next to it in order to get a pair of elastic bands on one. From the other end of the machine you need to do a similar job.
Then you need to pry off the elastic band located at the bottom of each column, then to throw it off. As a result, one gum remains, which should be thrown to the next column.
One of the rubber bands of the Dragon Scale bracelet comes with a clasp.
It remains to throw off the elastic on 4 columns, knit the bottom row, so that in the end there is one elastic on each column. Transfer the gum from the edges to the columns next to it. As a result, each will have 2 elastic bands, and you need to throw off the bottom and then put on the fastener.
Now you need to do the rubber bands with which work began, they are put on the posts, and on 4 four posts you get a pair of green elastic bands.
A green elastic band is put on the first two columns, and the next ones of the same color. Then, with the help of the hook, the irises that were from the bottom are thrown off.
There are columns on which there is one elastic band, and the iris from 1 is thrown to 2, from 4 to 3. Then you need to take a half of the decoration with a fastener and fasten it to the second half.
