Hi everyone! I’m an intermediate / beginner bracelet maker and I’m having a specific problem with my daisy chain loops. They end up not looking round and holding their shape and become more straight / oval. Does anyone know why this happens?

I also have this problem. I think that it might be the knot tension

That’s pretty common honestly. You can round it out with your fingers but once you put it on and the tie goes through the loop it will look more like an oval than a circle. But you can always round it back out with your fingers one you take it off!

I agree with everyone else, any chain bracelets I make all end up kind of oval-ish or straight. I think it's because you don't do anything to the chains to make them circular, if that makes sense? and I believe lots of the photos added also have a similar problem.

Can someone tell me how to know that you are supposed to make the knots over two threads on each side based on the pattern? It looks like the pattern just has two strands with no knots that hang there while making the side loops, then pick it up again when making the daisy. Thank goodness for tutorials! Am I going to run into this on other patterns?

@NSSchre braceletbook patterns can't portray a knot being made onto more than one string at once. You can't know that you are supposed to make knots over multiple strings at once in a chain pattern like the daisy chain if you've never tied a chain pattern like the daisy chain before. To know that you have to tie over more than one string, you have to initially watch a video on the pattern (or find another tutorial). Once you are familiar with the concept of chain patterns, you should be able to recognise them and figure out what to do even without an additional tutorial, even if the pattern doesn't portray what you are supposed to do exactly.Here are some other examples of chain patterns: #146841 #82507 #145574 #156926 #146844 #146981 #133297 #170556 |

Thank you so much for this information. I was feeling a little frustrated that I couldn’t figure out how to read the pattern properly. This makes me feel better, and helps a lot! Too bad braceletbook doesn’t at least have a way of making notes to help newbies like me, but as you said, once I get a better understanding of what I’m doing, I’ll recognize it on my own. Thank you again!

@NSSchre it's always a good idea to take a look at the comments because sometimes the creator of the pattern or someone else has left a note there.
