Hello! Hope this finds you all well ❤️
I want to start a pattern that is 35x40, but the d-rings I have only allow upto 20 (10 strings looped to make 20)
Is there a way to fit the 35 on the d-ring somehow?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you!
Will this allow 35 base strings?
The given pattern is using 20 base strings

Yes, any amount should be possible

If you start with 13 knots per row, you'll need (35-13)÷2=11 rows until you get to your desired 35 knots.

I'm so sorry, I've been trying to understand this but I keep getting lost at the numbers.

Do I start with 13 larks head knots and the rest (9) will be looped over like shown in the tutorial?

Don't forget to tag me when you reply, otherwise it might take me a while until I see your reply.

If I understand your set-up correctly, it should be

5 loop-over threads* - 8 larks head knots - 5 loop-over threads

* one of the 5 loop-over threads on the left edge is your first leading string: one end is a base string, the other end is your first leading string

According to your initial post, your d-ring only allows 10 larks head knots. That means you do 8 larks head knots and the rest of the stings need to be loop-over thread on the left and the right of those strings.
