Hi, Here are two more friendship bands which are very simple and can be made in just 10-15 minutes. Means it is eleventh hour ready handmade band. We are always too busy in our scheduled work and don't remember one day before that tomorrow is Friendship day. When our mobile reminds then in the morning we come to know that, ohh! if today is friendship day, what can I gift to my friends? So don't worry you can gift hand made beautiful bracelet / friendship band and your friend will be overwhelmed with joy. Such a simple and beautiful pattern these are!!! Blue Band: R1: ch4, dc 1 in first ch, (ch4, dc 1 in a st just like picot joining) repeat till required length (preferably odd number of loops. I made 15 loops.

R2:(dc6 in loop, join by sc1 in next loop) rep till end. (Note first dc means ch3).

When completed from both sides it will look as in fig 1. Watch the following video, with English subtitles, Yellow with Wooden beads:The wooden beads are very light weightand in bright colours.
