How to make a bracelet from elastic bands "Scale of the Dragon" (stage by stage)?

This kind of weaving is easy to master - here the main attention and patience. Weaving at least once such an ornament and figuring out how it should be in the scheme, you can easily weave bracelets from the rubber bands "Dragon Scales":

1. In order not to be confused in the colors, prepare in advance the right amount of gum. The main method of weaving "Scales" is alternating rows with 4 and 5 elastic bands.
2. In the first row should be simultaneously placed on the hook rubber bands for two rows. Thus, we use at once 9 elastics - 5 for one (long) and 4 for the next (short) row. So, we put the first elastic on the hook.
3. We immediately twist it with the "eight", the second loop is also put on the hook.
4. Put the second rubber band on the hook and thread it through the loop of the first rubber band. Then also twist it and fix it on the hook.
5. In the same way, you should do with all the remaining 9 elastic bands.
6. For further weaving we will need a pencil (as an option - another hook or thick knitting needle). Take it in the left hand, and leave the hook with the first row of rubber bands in the right.
7. Pull the first loop over the pencil (similar to knitting with knitting needles).
8. Put on the hook a rubber band of a different color (in this case - purple), if your bracelet is two-color.
9. Then draw it through two orange loops and return it to the hook.
10. We take the following purple rubber band and repeat the ninth paragraph.
11. Repeat these steps until the pencil becomes 4 purple gum, and the very first, orange, we remove from the hook, turn the "eight" and place it on a pencil.
12. The next row is 5 orange bands. It is better to prepare them in advance. Hook the hook under the first two loops on the pencil and remove them. Then tie orange gum around them in the usual way.
13. As in the previous series, we continue knitting the series to the end, using all 5 rubber bands.
14. The last loop left on the pencil is simply moved to the hook.
15. Similarly, the next row we will have 4 purple gum, etc.
16. The bracelet must contain as many rows as will be sufficient for its length. Thus, how much a rubber band for the "Dragon Scale" bracelet will depend on the thickness of your wrist. Please note that this type of weaving is very good, and do not forget to periodically try the product on your hand.
17. We have already learned the weaving of the "Scale of the Dragon", and now let's find out how to finish this bracelet out of rubber bands. To do this, find at the very beginning of the weaving, on the end, long "eight" of orange rubber bands. There should be 5.
18. Hook the S-shaped lock the very first of them and connect with the "figure-eight" on the opposite end of the bracelet.
19. In case you do not have such special locks at hand, use additional rubber bands, as if you connected two rows of a crocheted cloth. As a result, you should get such a stitch.
20. Here's the bracelet and it's ready! Note that the "Dragon Scale" is trummed without a machine, on the fingers, although this bracelet can be made from rubber bands using the machine. After you master the technique of weaving, you can start to explore other, for example, the bracelet "Hollywood . "
