There are four friendship bracelet knots. This determines the direction the knot travels. The friendship bracelet knots have two knots piled together. Here are the four types of knots you can do. Forward Knot Take the floss on the leftmost using your right hand. Then, loop it on your left thumb. You will notice that this step makes the shape of a number “4”. Tie the knot through the loop into the number “4” shape you made. Get the next floss with the fingers of your left hand. Then use your right hand to pull the end of your first strand below and into the loop. Get the first floss straight up the bracelet to make a knot. Backward Knot Get the right floss and make a backward figure of a number “4”. Then, get the end of the next floss that overlaps your left floss. Put it underneath the loop. Pull the floss through the loop and bring it up to your bracelet. This makes a knot. Forward-Backward Knot This type of knot begins with the first loop of the forward knot, then it ends with the backward knot. It means that the floss on the left will stay on the left when you complete the knot. Backward-Forward Knot This is the opposite of the Forward-Backward Knot. This begins with a backward knot and ends with a forward knot. It means the right floss will remain on the right when you finish the knot.
