First of all, make sure you read this.

You should have 12 strings in total, 8 white and 4 red. Set them up in the same order the pattern shows.
(White, white, red, white, red, white, white, red, white, red, white, white)
Think horizontally, not vertically! Sorry for the length of the instructions but I'm trying to do them so you'll be able to follow them.
Row 1:
(All knots in this row should be white.)
Take the first string in and the second string in your hands. Both should be white strings. Make a backward knot.
Pick up the next two strings, which should be red and white. Make a backward knot. The white string should be going over and under the red string.
Do the same thing for the next two strings, which should be red and white, just like the knot before.
Take the next two strings and make a forward knot. The white string should go over and under the white string.
Do the same thing with the next two strings, which again should be white and red.
Take the two white strings and make a forward knot.
Row 2:
Put the first string aside as you will not be using it in this row.
Take the second and third strings and make a backward knot. The knot should be white.
Take the next two strings and make a backward knot. This knot should also be white.
Now, you’re going to have to make a backward/forward knot with the next two strings. Make half of a backward knot, and then half of a forward knot. The whole point of this knot is making sure that the strings stay in the same place.
Now you’re going to make a forward knot with the next two strings. The white string should go over the red string. This knot should be white.
Make another forward knot with the next two strings. The knot should white.
You won’t be doing anything with the last string, so just leave it.
Alright, the last two were really in-depth, so I’m going to make the rest of these nice and short.
Row 3:
Take the first and second strings and make a backward knot. This knot should be white.
Take the third and fourth strings and make a backward knot. This knot should be white.
Take the fifth and sixth strings and make a backward knot. This knot should be red.
Take the seventh and eighth strings and make a forward knot. This knot should be red.
