I'm used making friendschip bracelets. When I was young (in the 90s) I made a ton of bracelets. Now I love to make new patterns. Thus one ist not my first, but after serveral times trying this pattern I ran out of thread. Maybe meanwhile I am too old to learn new patterns. Neverthelessthis patternnis beautiful. I will try others but I will give this one a try another time.
@Victrix I had to add in a couple different times so definitely don’t be shy when adding in more string! better to have too much string than not enough!
I'm knotting this one at the moment and it's a great pattern, but I definitely second what @fwesty says about string length - I think I'm going to have to feed in some more at some point soon.
@g_wiggles use the knots that are shown in the diagram. To understand how to make knots and read patterns, watch the 2 video tutorials near the top part of the page- located between the pattern preview and the knot structure diagram.
@knoddedbym you can start with slanted ends and add braided ties to each end-- video tutorials on #31230 and #15341
Or if you want a loop, just knot around all the strings like normal, including the single colors. Then very carefully pull the single strings through the loop section to their corresponding sides so that the ends are hidden inside the loop. When you start knotting the pattern, be very gentle with the first couple rows so you don't accidentally pull the single strings all the way out of the loop 😄
