1. I’ve seen the loop made before. I get how to make it but I’m not fully understanding how to start the pattern after, it looks like you need to make a triangle on the design and only do the loops within that triangle? 2. How do I finish off the design and end it with the two tassels? 3. When you tie the loop together with the middle string, do you just tie it like a normal knot or do you do a forward backward or some variation of a forward or backward knot? |

I think this video might be useful for you: https://youtu.be/N6-KQDLeKik?is=XbjofMKXcnCWrlCa It shows different ways how to start and end bracelets and should hopefully touch on the specific ways you want to start and end your bracelets. After the loop, you do a shaped start and to end the bracelet, you do a shaped end. After you've made the shaped end, you split your strings into two bundles and make a braid or twist with each of them. Those are your ties. You can attach tassels to the ties: https://youtu.be/fn7LrytzBrQ?is=rU7c2J6qZRQJWWsK I like to do a macrame square knot to bundle up all the strings after a loop if I start with a triangle start. But just starting with a forward or backward knot works too. A normal knot wouldn't look as fitting in my opinion. |

Guys I am making this Batman pattern bracelet and there are five threads in each colour but from what I am used to I take half the amount of the threads and bend them so now I am wondering how do I split five threads? If you can help me that would be awesome tyyy

@missys you don't need to start with a loop. You can just have ties at both the end and the start. You just take 5 strings and don't fold them.
