@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 have a question- How will we use the technique when there are more than 2 colors. I am making the pattern #59867

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!

@beatlesall yes you sure can. I would prevent to many colour switches, but if you look at the pictures at pattern #59876 you can see a wonderfull example by @sodapop

I want to ask, you can make this technique even if there are more than 2 colors you need right now?@

Thnx everyone!

And good tip @KuteKat. Another tip is to use more then one string of the same colour for different blocks of colour in your pattern.

I launched a challenge for the month of April in the BB forum and on my IG for a clean back alpha item, feel free to join! ❤️

I'm trying this right now (seriously I am making a keychain with it right now) and it is really hard at first but after the first few rows, I figured it out and got back to my normal pace. For people who are trying this pay attention for the first few rows so it's easier to get the hang of.
