Megan Morris on youtube has a video with tips on how to knot faster 😉

I would try to keep an eye on how long it takes to do one color and switch between colors. I recently found something to take less time is having the string I am knotting in my hand and just lifting it slight to allow the other thread to come over to knot so that I am not wasting time putting it down and picking it back up. I also try to keep all my strings as organized as possible so I do not spend a lot of time trying to find the string I need and getting it out.

I think it depends on your speed but you can listen to a podcast or youtube video to speed it up. Also if you just don't have the time or commitment (ngl that's me sometimes) you could just make keychains.

It depends on the pattern but for me it takes about the same time! Don’t worry, you’ll get faster in time!

Mine dont usually take that long around 2 hours. My tips are listen to tv while doing it, try to do it for long periods of time so you get into a rhythm

Practice definitely helps, and it also depends (at least for me) if i am doing something else like a bunch of other people suggested. It also really depends on the bracelet.

This also depends on the thickness of your string/thread. I've noticed this almost a year ago when Masha Knots was complaining about having to make about 100 rows and how big that bracelet is (like 17 cm) on that Valentine's day bracelet and I was like whaaat!!! I need 120 rows for 15 cm. I even commented this on that video and got a response from her. Apparently, the thread that people usually use is 2-3 mm thick. Mine is 1 mm. So, I logically must do more knots and that takes longer. It takes me 4 to even 30+ hours to finish a bracelet, depending on how complex the pattern is and if I have to untie mistakes or a string snaps. So, don't feel bad! You're doing great! Just practice and you'll get faster over time! Good luck and have a nice day! ❤️

Haha it takes me weeks to finish a bracelet but that's because I don't have much time. I don't watch any videos because I have to keep looking up and it's annoying since I knot slower. I usually just play some nice music on my Google mini and it helps me concentrate, and it calms me down. So for me music is the best option. Also, I take breaks. Every 45-60 minutes I take 10 minute breaks to just lie down or relax, and when I come back I am ready to start knotting again. I would definitely suggest breaks, because if you knot constantly the knotting quality goes down and time spent goes up. Aaand finally I use good quality embroidery floss. This helps make my bracelet look better and when I knot it doesn't hurt my fingers.

As long as I keep working I get it done with Tom 2 hours or so. Something to help is listen to music or watch some sort of a show.

For me it depends on the size of the bracelet and the pattern

Some patterns take days or weeks to finish it really just depends on the pattern, if you have more experience in knotting then you can make knots much quicker and be done much sooner.

I make all my bracelets 6 inches long so it takes a bit longer it also depends on your wrist size!

Yeah! Some of my bracelets take a long time to make as well! Just like you! But, I think if you wanna shorten that time then you should go and see Megan Morris' video on hwo to knot faster! Also I recommend that you work on smaller and thinner bracelets! And maybe also make some keychains! I hope that you take my suggestions into account! Thank you! Happy knotting!
