I made this bracelet one day ago, and I loved it, but it came out a little bit shorter. I recommend (if you are using the red with yellow and orange) to cut a little bit more of the darkest yellow and a little bit more from the lightest red.
I absolutely love this pattern! This was my first time using a bracelet book so I was a little nervous about reading the patterns but it was easier than I thought and I love the results! I would also make the strings longer than your arm's length!
