Hello, I was wanting as my next project to be an alpha bookmark, yet I'm not too sure on how many strings to use, for I don't want it to be to wide or thin.
If anyone can help, that would be amazing, thanks! ❤️

I would put the keyword "bookmark" in the search! I bet you will find some really cool patterns that were designed to be bookmarks!

I find anything between 20 to 30 good for bookmarks, but it also depends on your string size and how firm your knots are.

Thank you both for you answers, both were helpful. ❤️

I recently did a bookmark with 21 base strings and loved the thickness. I normally don’t go under 18 because to me there is a fine line between bookmarks and bracelets that can easily be crossed.

@1023342234 Thank you! You shared a photo of the pattern ( I think its the pattern, I apologize if I'm wrong) but the thickness looked perfect for a bookmark!
thanks again! 🙂

It probably depends on the patterns that you use
