Hey um sorry but could you elaborate more on the last part? Where you said "For any other length the exact percentage would not have worked out. To still be able to work with the percentage, you just have to multiply it by the bracelet length you want divided by 14."
I still don’t understand where the initial 45 cm comes from for a 14 cm bracelet…that makes it hard to adapt to bracelets of different sizes, since you use that base number for the rest of the calculations.
Okay last question I have this pattern #115934 could you calculate string number 2 for me? I am a little confused on how I would calculate it. I tried to calculate it the same way you did with string 8 and 10 by doing string 2 with string 17 but it came out to 0.06% which there is no way that is correct
ive tried this with bracelets with 8 strings and it worked amazingly. I'm doing calculations for a normal pattern that has a lot of strings, the numbers seem a little low but it should still work, right? (mb if the question a lil dumb....) I put 15 cm as the length I want for the pattern: #32405
@panda4eva2 6 inches are 15 centimeters. I'm sure the formula is usable with inches too, but then you need to replace every number that is in centimeters with a number in inches.
@halokiwi the length of the pattern is 20 rows In "length of braclet" I put 6 inches because I want it to be 6 inches. When I put it into the calculator, it came out with 18.65 or something inches. That was exactly enough for one repetition plus ties. Thank you for your patience ❤️
@panda4eva2 length of bracelet is the length of the knotted part of the bracelet without the ties. For me that length is 14cm. It depends on how many rows the pattern has how many repeats of the pattern fit into these 14cm.
Which pattern did you do? How many rows does that pattern have? Most normal patterns won't be long enough, if you do only one repetition.
I needed to repeat pattern #148888 14 times to get to 14cm. That's 14x8=112 rows. So yeah, only a very long pattern only needs one repeat.
@halokiwi is "length of braclet" for the final length of the bracelet or the length of one repetition of a patter.? I did length of bracelet and it was WAY to short and was exactly one repetition plus ties.
@mk22smith I'm actually not sure, but it should work for any six strand embroidery floss, not just dmc, if that's what you mean. It might work for thinner or thicker string too, but I have not tested it. It might work because when tying with thicker strings, you need more string per knot, but you also need to make less knots.
If it does not work, you can still try to figure out a formula based on this formula.
