For normal patterns, how do you usually decide how long to make the string?I'm asking because a lot of patterns use one string more than others, so I run out of that one and have to add a new one. |

Personally, I’ve never run into the issue of running out of string in a normal pattern. I usually make one string a wingspan's length, plus a little extra for ties (around 15cm per string). However, if you want precise calculations there is a tutorial on here:https://www.braceletbook.com/tutorials/173_how-to-calculate-string-length-in-a-normal-pattern/ |

I make mine wingspan plus a bit. I would rather have too much string and waste it then have to add another string. I hate having to add another string.

Always better to have too much than to run out. Bonus is if you have extra string left over, you can use it for new projects and alphas later
