Help me find a pattern by eds 5 years ago

I need help finding the pattern for the 1st bracelet in the picture. I found one similar but I want the exact one. Thanks! https://www.pinterest.com/pin/260927372146593301/

I don't have the pattern but I can explain you how to make the bracelet !
Start with the dark blue string on the left and put the others strings in the order of the stripes you will make (baby blue - purple - pink - orange...)
With the blue strings, make forward knots on all the other strings so that you get a stripe that goes this way : \
Then, make forward knots with the next string (baby blue) but stop the stripe one knot before the end, so that the blue string remains on the right.
Then, same thing with the 3rd string (purple) but leaving the 2 last strings on the right (blue and baby blue)
etc
This way, your last stripe has only 1 knot and you made the first "triangle".

Then, make backward knots with the dark blue strings on all the other strings, so that it comes back to the left side of the bracelet : /
With the baby blue string, make a stripe with backward knots, but leaving the blue string on the left.
etc, until the last stripe that has only 1 knot.

And start over !
Hopefully my explanation is clear enough, if you have any questions feel free to ask me ;)

How long would you recommend I make each string? Thanks for all your help!

Always about 120 cm per string, a bit less for strings that you don?t use a lot in the pattern.

Actually the length needed depends on the lengths of the stripes made with each color, so probably something like 120cm for the blue / baby blue / purple strings for example, and a bit less for the last stripes ;)
