This is probably the only way I make alphas with more than 2 colours. 😂 Thank you svm, @mjlgvw; I may not have gotten into alphas otherwise. I'm the kind of person that gets annoyed by 'stray' string hanging around on bracelets.
i dont really understand this, can some one please make a detailed video tutorial on how to do it? there are only 3 tutorials on youtube and arnt very helpful. thanks, mia
@av0cad0s I would introduce the string one (or better two) knots before you would need it so it will also be hidden by a few knots and you can cut it really short. Like the introduction of the colour of the flower center in this tutorial.
@Mahi it can be done, but it's ambitious. If you check @sodapop on Instagram she shared her experience with knotting this pattern using the clean back technique. Sone general extra tips: - use seperate pieces of string for separate blocks of colour (for instance for the blue background colour use one string for the left and one for the right side) - print the pattern and draw the routes of the strings out before you start knotting - try not to hide more than two strings into one knot Good luck🍀 Hope you will tag me when you're done so I can see🤩
I almost didn't give this technique a try; I thought it would be painfully meticulous, like having to do a color change in almost each and every knot, but in fact it's a lot of fun! Even more so than having to tuck away the unused color to the back each time. And you don't even need to plan two rows ahead like a chess grandmaster, the path of a string is pretty obvious. I have only tried a two color pattern so far, though - and yes, I messed up the first row, like @KuteKat says! 😂 I love this, thank you a million times!
