The base strings need to be the length of the finished bracelet plus some extra for loops, ties etc.If you want to tie a specific amount of rows and you have tied an alpha before, you can measure how long a certain amount of rows is and then use that to calculate how long a specific amount of rows will be. The length of the leading strings is difficult to estimate. It depends on the amount of knots you do with a specific colour, but there will also be some string 'lost' because of the loose leading strings in the back. I recommend just leaving the leading strings on the skein and cutting them once you are done. |
