I just downloaded this app after making many bracelets off of YouTube videos for a while and was wondering what order knots are tied in. I understand what type of knot it should be based off of the arrows, but I don’t know how to figure out what order to tie them. I am planning on making #87078 next, so if anyone could explain, that could be an example used.

to start, i would do row by row! this means taking each pair of strings, do one full row before moving into the next. if this doesn’t make sense @ me and lmk!

Do row by row and thung do the string as in pairs, then when you are more comfortable and understand the pattern you can do the chunking method Wich can be harder, or easier but it more entertains

Do row by row to start off with. You just start with the first knot on either end, and then do all the knots across that row and move on to the next row. Typically with the next row, you'll have to leave out the first string and tie a knot with the second onto the third and so on, until you reach the other end, where you may also end up leaving out the last string. It just depends on the pattern you're following. If you start with a teardrop loop, you can do what I call "Chevron knotting", where you knot v-shaped "rows" that follow the shape of the teardrop start. There's also segem t knotting which allows you to knot with one color to finish a "segment" and then move on to the next, but you have to be mindful of which order you do the knots in so that the next knots can still be made. All in all, start with the row by row method and move onto other methods as you practice. Different methods are more suitable for different patterns. You can always undo knots with a needle, so don't worry too much about messing up 🙂 |

If you want to segment-knot it, this is how I'd do it:https://imgur.com/a/X8AJFhz Row 12 to 23: backwards candystripe Row 24 to 11: forwards candystripe In the backwards candystripe turn all knots between two strings of the same colour to backwards knots. |

I think segment knotting is generally least confusing. What I do is identify a chevron shape in the pattern (or a candystripe) and knot the knots in that chevron shape (of course, it won’t look like an actual chevron because you’ll be using the knots from the pattern) and keep knotting the chevrons you see in the pattern after that.

I knot all the knots across, like reading left to right, and then going down a line. It's the easiest, and the way it confuses me less 😂

If you are doing an alpha, you are going to want to tie the knots from left to right, then right to left (kinda like a snake pattern). With normal patterns, you can tie the knots in any way that you want, but if you just want to go line by line, you are going to tie the knots always left to right 🙂 hope that helps

I would go row by row. Reading from left to right for normal bracelets. For alpha bracelets you have to go from left to right then right to left.
