Rainbow Loom II

My biggest fan, my little sister, got spoiled by my dry rainbow loom post.

LS:  Are you going to make me more tutorials?
       Ones that use the other looms, or with different borders?
       I'm sad we only have one left.
Me:  I don't think so.  It's time for you to fly!
LS:  :(
Me:  They get much more complicated, and they're not as similar.
       You just watch whatever ones you like.
LS:  I don't want to fly.
Me:  The reason you have to fly is there's too much out there.
       And I would need a theme for a second post.
       Like "2 peg bracelets" for example.
LS:  Yay!!!!!
Me:  ha ha ha ha ha ha
       Ummmmmmmm.
       So I'm going to do that now?
LS:  Thanks Lan!
Me:  Omg.  Well.  Okay.

Before we go any further, I must give credit where credit is due.  Over half of these bracelets are from Rena T's youtube channel.  If you see a bracelet you'd like to make, but the translation from video to blogpost isn't thrilling you, head over there.  But what am I saying?  Liên is clearly the only person who has read this far.

2 PEG BRACELETS

Terms

For each bracelet, bands will be represented by natural numbers, 1, 2, 3...
The very last band will be called N.
So your bands for each bracelet are, 1, 2, 3... N.
There is no band named "0."

Actions "is placed" and "is twisted once and placed" will be abbreviated to P and T.
Actions "loops over" and "loops under" will be abbreviated to O and U.
O and U require looping over the pegs to the top center of the loom unless otherwise indicated.
Action "hooks to C-clip and attaches to initial cap band" will be abbreviated to H.
Most of the time, you will need use your hook to edit your bracelet after this step.

Modifiers "left" and "right," will be abbreviated to L and R.
Modifier "between" will be abbreviated to B.
B will always be followed by two band numbers.

Colors in a color scheme will be abbreviated to C1, C2, C3...
Colors "rainbow colors" and "border color" will be abbreviated to Cr and Cb.
Rainbow colors can be replaced by any assortment of 1 or more colors.
Conversely, rainbow colors can be superimposed into any color scheme, especially 2-cycles.

To review, we have: 1, 2, 3... N, P, T, O, U, H, L, R, B, C1, C2, C3... Cr, & Cb.

Rules

If a band number is placed before an action abbreviation, manipulate that band.
If a band number is placed afterwards, this describes the action and that band is left alone.
If L or R is placed before a band, use the side of that band that originated on that peg.
If L or R is placed afterwards, loop to the L or R peg as indicated.

Structure

Each bracelet tutorial will appear in six parts, as follows:
1.  Starting the bracelet.
2.  The sequence that will then be repeated to desired length.
3.  Ending the bracelet.
4.  Suggested number of colors; how to fit colors to cycle.
