While I am not a Swiftie, I did notice to explosive trend of swapping friendship bracelets during her Eras Tour. I thought this would be a great thing to do at retreats, conferences, events, or festivals for fiber enthusiasts, knitters, crocheters, spinners, weavers, etc. I learned to loom knit before I learned to hand knit. Since I am teaching loom knitting at the 2025 Zombie Knitpocalypse retreat, I thought making friendship bracelets on a loom was a great beginner project! These friendship bracelets could then be pass out during the retreat or saved to pass on during other event

These bracelets are constructed top down on a KB Flexee Loom Bitty (Authentic Knitting Board). Two cast on methods are described. The body of the bracelet is constructed with garter stitch with placing of beads (optional). Three bind off methods are discussed. This pattern is a great introduction on how to knit on a knitting loom exploring different methods of casting on, knit stitches, purl stitch, and binding off.

Additionally, instructions on how to place beads while knitting in order to give extra bling. 7mm Alphabet beads were used as well to spell out a love of knitting.
