Korean Flat Houndstooth Bracelet – 32-Thread Kumihimo Tutorial

 A Modern Twist on a Classic Pattern


This 32-thread houndstooth design is one of our newest and most stylish patterns, perfect for both men and women. The woven texture is sleek, eye-catching, and effortlessly fashionable.




What You’ll Need:

  • Two 4mm hoses (for a flat, structured look)

  • 32 threads total (16 of each color, 60cm each)

  • Rectangular disk (64-card slots)

  • Metal buckles & finishing clips

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Prep the Base

  • Lightly glue the two hoses together in the middle to form a flat star shape.

  • Carefully insert all 32 threads (alternating colors) into the hose.

2. Secure the Threads

  • Bundle the threads into the small starter ring and gently pull tight while holding the base firmly.

  • Use the rectangular disk to begin weaving—follow the two-by-two alternating color pattern (refer to the included hanging chart for guidance).

3. Weaving the Houndstooth

  • Start at Card #1, pulling the left thread to the right and filling gaps sequentially.

  • Pro Tip: Focus on thread position rather than color to avoid tangling.

  • For the final group, always pick the middle thread to maintain consistency.

4. Finishing Touches

  • Once you reach your desired length, remove the threads from the disk.

  • Wrap the ends tightly (0.5cm) and secure with the starter loop for a clean finish.

  • Flatten the hose with a clip, then attach metal buckles for a polished look.

Why You’ll Love It:
✔️ Trendy unisex design – Elevates any outfit.
✔️ Durable & structured – 4mm hose ensures a firm hold.
✔️ Beginner-friendly – Detailed chart and simple repeats.

Patience pays off! Though this pattern uses more threads, the result is a bold, high-end accessory worth the effort.
