Hi, I returned to bracelet making just a few weeks ago after years of not doing any. I've gained a lot following Masha Knots tutorials especially with segment knotting. However I started pattern #215307 yesterday. It's all BF and FB knots and I can't figure out any way to do it other than row by row. What do you think, is it possible to segment knot this pattern please?

As a side question, perhaps should be another topic, my BF and FB knots are very messy compared to bracelets I make that are predominantly backward or forward knots, is there a way to keep them neater? I'd hoped practice would help but I've been knotting like crazy since I restarted and no signs of consistent improvement yet..

For patterns with only fb and bf knots, the segments are 2 knots big at most. It's better and easier to knot them row by row. You can also tie them following the structure of a candystripe or chevron, but it does not really make sense to try to figure out a more efficient way because there isn't really one.

For making need fb and bf knots, you really want to keep tension on your strings while knotting. Pull the first half of your knots tight and don't let it loosen before making the second half. You always want to keep the "base string" tight, so the knot doesn't flip.

Thanks for the reply, I'll keep practicing and practicing. I was making this bracelet for someone but I honestly don't think it's going to be fit to share. Hey ho, excuse to find another pattern for that gift 🙂

I'm sure, you'll find another great pattern that the person you are gifting it to will love 😄

If you do try another pattern with only or mostly fb and bf knots in it, I recommend trying to tie it row by row. This can help especially with 1212 patterns (normal patterns with only or mainly fb and bf knots) but also with normal patterns in general.
