Infinity Bracelet

Recently I've been doing a lot of rock climbing, which requires learning a whole bunch of tie-in knots. My favorite one looks like a little infinity symbol, it's called the Figure 8 knot. Here's a basic diagram of how a Figure 8 is tied:

So I built on this idea and turned it into a really simple bracelet :)

The only thing you need is some chord! I've also tried using embroidery floss, twine, and hemp, which are cute variations. The embroidery floss is one of my favorites because it comes in so many colors, but it doesn't hold its shape as well as the other, stiffer strings.

Begin by doubling the string up and forming a loop with it:

Take the top of the loop in your fingers, twist it twice clockwise, and then feed the right leg of the string through the loop:

Pull tight. It should resemble an 8 or an infinity symbol:

Cute, right?! The final step is to put it around your wrist (you might need another person to help you with this step) and tie the two legs together. Cut off the excess and wear with pride.
