A friendship bracelet is a bracelet given by one person to another as a symbol of friendship. Friendship bracelets are often handmade, usually of embroidery floss or thread. There are various styles and patterns, but most are based on the same simple half-hitch knot. The making of friendship bracelets is a version of macrame.
The amount of thread used in bracelets varies depending on the pattern. The smallest pattern, a double chain knot, requires two strings. The candy stripe can have as few as three strings and as many as forty, based on the desired thickness.
Friendship bracelets first became popular in the United States during the 1970s, and are commonly worn by both male and female teenagers. They are popular throughout the world.
Pattern names vary slightly depending on location, but are overall similar.

I always thought that I'd move further from
Further and further and further and even further from
The very people closest to me
I see these in daydreams
And like so many other things
It happened
Slowly happened
And without notice I've become someone who's out of reach
I'm as much to blame
But I don't want to sound as though I'm wishing
Always wanting
Always hoping
I had not made the choices I have made
Because what's in that?
One is gained
One lost
And still to say I've made grave mistakes
And every upon every upon every
I think about and hope it's all worked out to either end
What acts
What cost
Cannot be destroyed with a friend's ring at the side
Don't break ties that hold them round the ring
