I am having difficulty figuring out how to start pattern #159843 which both has an odd number of strings (which i think i figured out how to account for) and never has the same color string next to itself... I think i have some ideas for how to start it but I would like some insight before I dive in.

Are you trying to do some special type of start?

If no, I recommend just taping all the strings down in the order they need to be and leaving 10cm for ties. Then you can just start tying the pattern.

hii! im not sure if the pattern you put for your question took me to the correct one since it doesn't have alternating colors at the beginning -- but if it the right pattern, how cute! either way, to approach the uneven # of strings, i recommend taking your strings and folding them in half to get two strings (as you would typically do for a bracelet) and then adding a single string at the edge, not folded in half, but the same length as the rest of your strings when those are folded (i hope that makes sense!)
