Take String 1 remember 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 1 on the left in your left hand, and String 2 in your right. Take String 1 and lay it across String 2, so it makes a right triangle pointing towards the left. Then, still holding String 2 in your right hand, take your left hand through the middle of the triangle and grab on to the end of String 1. Pull String 1 under String 2 and through the triangle, and then pull it tightly until your knot slides to the top of the bracelet.
Do this twice with String 1 and 2. Now that you know the basic knot, keep going. For the chevron pattern, this is what you'll need to do: Knot String 1 two times each onto Strings 2,3, and 4 on the left.
Do the same on the right side, knotting the right String 1 onto the right 2, 3, and 4. Now you should have both String 1's in the middle. The strings should switch positions. Repeat this, now starting with left String 2 onto left Strings 3, 4, and 1. If you didn't get that, try watching the video.
