YOUNG WOMAN: Double fishtail ladder?
Yes!
Wow your friends with this advanced pattern.
You'll need two looms.
Take the first loom,
loosen the big bracket on the back
and move it over one row.
Take your second loom, loosen the big bracket
and take it off.
Use it to attach the two looms, like this.
Push them down to connect.
Now you're ready to get going.
Make sure the arrows are facing away from you.
For this pattern,
double your bands for these first few steps.
Start here, and stretch two bands across these pegs.
Go all the way up the side until you get to this peg.
Then, put bands here, and here.
Now, go to the other side and mirror this pattern...
including these here at the top.
Then come down and add bands here, and here.
Next, choose the two colors for your inner pattern.
Go from here to here, and here to here
with your first color.
Remember to double your bands.
Then, take your next color and go from here to here,
and here to here.
Make Xs the whole way up, alternating colors.
Go back down here to make your ladder.
Just use single bands and alternate colors
all the way up to here.
Do the same on the other side.
Take a second to push all these down.
Now, come back down here and make a row of single bands
all the way up, like this.
Do the same thing over here.
Now, take any color band, double it up
and cap this peg... and this one.
Flip your loom so the arrows point towards you.
Grab your hook, start at the capped band,
find the band that goes from here to here.
Pull it up and over this peg.
Continue all the way up.
And repeat on the other side.

Now, stretch another band across here.
It needs to be the same color as the one beneath it.
Go all the way up the ladder, putting on bands
and pushing them down as you go.
Repeat on the other side.
Go back down here with your hook.
Grab both bands and pull them up and over to the side.
Then work your way up this row.
Only grab the double bands, not the ladder bands,
and pull them up and over.
Pull this last one up and over this last peg at the tip.
Then, go back here, pull these up and over.
And finish up this row all the way up.
♪ ♪
This last one, up and over.
Then come down to your first X.
Pull this one up and over to the right.
And this one up and over to the left.
Pick up this band.
Pull it back over to this side.
And pick up this one and pull it back here.
Move up to the next X.
Up and to the right.
And up and to the left.
Work your way all the way up the loom.
Now, go down through here and pull this band up
and over the tip peg.
Do the same on the other side.
Push your hook through here
and loop a band around it.
Pull it through.
Holding on to one side, make a slipknot.
Repeat at each corner.
♪ ♪
Pulling the pattern off the loom is tricky.
Be patient and careful.
♪ ♪
Make sure the arrows on your loom
are facing away from you,
and add six bands, like this.
Take two of these loops, like this.
Stretch them over these pegs.
Turn your loom around.
Take your hook and pull this up and over.
All the way up.
Stretch this one across these pegs,
and add a C-clip.
Take the bracelet off the loom.
Connect your bracelet.
Tada! Fabulous!
