I’ve been making normal patterns since 2018, but I’ve avoided alpha patterns. I made one a year ago or so and when it comes to changing the colors, it end up looking so weird. Especially if it’s more than one color in that row. It’s like the design is coming out of my bracelet.

If you look up tutorials for alpha bracelets on YouTube you can find a solution to this problem! (Which is integrating the string while switching colors but it’s hard to explain here, looking at videos of people making them will help) I watched a bunch of alpha bravely videos in one sitting and my alpha bracelets improved a lot! (Now I just need practice) I will send the ones I watched.

I’ve watched all these tutorials you’re sending me 😭 That’s why I just question why it’s so hard for me 🙁 I’ll watch those videos again though and keep practicing. I know I have to be willing to make mistakes in order to improve

It can be frustrating when you’ve done all the right things yet it doesn’t turn out right, but I promise that the more you do (no matter how bad), you will get better

My best advice is just practice, unfortunately I’ve also been struggling with my alphas, and they can be quite tricky to get just right, there’s no one right answer but some tricks that have helped me is to firstly work on my knot tension, I have found that looser knots and focusing on positioning each knot with care has helped a lot. I have also found that alphas with only 2 or 3 colours have been good to practice since they don’t have as many colour switches. I really hope this helps, and don’t give up! You’ve got this 💛

my first alphas were BAD! i would suggest starting with the vertical wave bracelet so you can get a feel for knot tension and alphas in general! i had the same issue and now i’m better at alphas than normal patterns 😭😭
