You can start the braid by taking the outer right cord and bring it over the middle cord and the outer left cord.

Start by passing first knotting cord over the center string and then under the second knotting cord. Then pass the second knotting cord under the center string and over the first knotting cord. Pull the cords tight and you have finished a half knot. To make a spiral pattern design you tie a series of half knots. A square knot is very similair to a half knot. In fact a square knot is made up of two half knots. Their is one important point though. A square knot is made of two opposite half knots. So one of the half knots needs to be started from the right and the other from the left. A macrame flat bracelet pattern design is made up of square knots. Half knots and square knots will be the back bone of your hemp bracelet. To add beads to make a beaded hemp bracelet you need to tie either half knots or square knots depending upon you preference until you get to the point where you want to add a bead. Slide a bead up the thin center thread. Then tie you next knot on the other side of the bead. When you pull the knot tight it will tighted around the bead holding it in place. Continue adding beads and tying knots until you are finished. You will finish the macrame portion of you hemp bracelet or anklet by tying an over hand knot.
After the over hand knot you will start braiding for another two inches of braid which you will finish off with an over hand knot.
Cut off any remaining length from your thin center thread. Take the two remaining knotting cords and tie them together using an over hand knot two inches away from the end of your braid creating a loop.
Cut off the remaining knotting cord and your hemp bracelet is finished.
