@Burr48 the base strings need to be the length of the bracelet + whatever you need for the ties. For the leading strings I recommend leaving them on the skein and only cutting them when you are done knotting.
My first alpha pattern and second friendship bracelet ever! Really simple and pretty design for beginners that an look good even with different colour combinations
Thank you to all the people who submitted photos of this pattern. I am not the creator but have been wanting to make this bracelet for a little bit and wanted to see how it looks for other people because I am not a person that has made many alphas. lol 🙁
