DIY Anchor Bracelet

I wanted to make a good friend of mine a bracelet with a design of something that she loves. After searching for a long time to find something I decided on an anchor pattern. The pattern is quite simple, I decided on an alpha pattern as I find these a lot simpler than the 'normal' knotted patterns.

I used 5 white background threads (or two white threads folded in half plus one more white thread), 2 blue background threads (or one blue thread folded in half) and blue as the main colour, which I kept on the skein as I didn't know how much I would need. Turns out I needed one and a bit blue skeins. I made the buckle loop out of square knots as I explained in my DIY Spiderman Bracelet post. The tails were made by doing a four strand plait/braid which I learned by following This YouTube video.

The bracelet didn't turn out as good as I would have liked but practice makes perfect. I have been asked to make some other patterns so I will be posting those at some point in the future.
