Chunky 16-String Celtic-Inspired Bracelet – My Biggest Pattern Yet? | akaAWOL Tutorial

After experimenting with a woven Celtic-style design on 12 strings, I thought—why not push it further? Today I’m scaling up to 16 strings for a chunky, bold bracelet that really shows off the over-under rhythm. 🌀

This one definitely eats up string and takes some patience, but the weaving effect is so worth it. Whether you go with a rainbow, neutrals, or earthy browns, this design will stand out on your wrist.

⚠️ Heads up: This one is string-hungry and will take time! Expect ~30 minutes extra just to fill it in.
