Answer 3

The first link is the type of bracelet you're talking about.  It is made from half hitch knots which makes a spiral design.  They're very easy to make.  I've included other links for you so you can get a general idea of different kinds of knots and what look they will produce.  You can also do a google search on friendship bracelets or macrame knots and find lots of info.  And remember, all these knots can be made with almost any kind of string, two common kinds are embroidery floss for friendship bracelets or hemp for hemp jewelry.
