So I just started learning how to make alphas and I notice that the alphas I do make seem a bit long, longer then the grid the patterns show. Like it’s supposed to be round but it looks like an oval. is there anything I can do to avoid that?

(I’ve recently submitted photos of my finished keychains so if you want to see what I mean they are likely on my profile)

This is pretty common/normal.

You can
- use thicker base strings/double your base strings
- make your knots a little looser
- push your rows up with a ruler or something similar
- skip rows/adjust the pattern in other ways
