I have been wanting to make a friendship bracelet for the longest time. Couldn't get the hang of it.
Then I saw someone finger knitting and figured I could do the same thing on a round loom. ... A Spool Loom to be exact.

NOTE: If you prefer a video tutorial visit my website....
Measure your wrist with a measuring tape. Now do the math - You will need to knit 6 rows for every inch.

Make a knot with 4 strands of floss. You will use them as if the were 1.
Place the knot on a peg -
3
Wrap all 5 pegs with the floss. Push the floss (yarn) down to almost the bottom of the pegs.

4
Take the working yarn (floss) and place in front of the pegs with out wrapping around
You should see 2 rows of yarn (8 strands in total) on each peg -
5
With the hook pull the bottom strands over the top and behind the peg. Repeat this for each peg
This will leave you with one rows of strands (4 strands in total) on each peg.
Although this is your first row -it will be loose so don't count it as a row -

Place the working yarn (floss) over the pegs and repeat the knitting process until you have knitting all the necessary rows (based on your math)
