@SusuKnots masha knots on YouTube have a very good video about it that’s how I learned it’s called the flat alpha technique I think

I have been making my first big bracelet it’s about 22 strings. It’s been going well but it keeps curving in and out on the sides. Any way I can keep my bracelet from looking like this?

@macksmithy it might be you’re making the knots too tight or that you aren’t making all the knots evenly I would first try to make your knots loser but if it’s you first big bracelet it might just that it’s your first and it will get better over time

@Lexiloo852 an alpha is a bracelet that instead of knotting with a certain amount of colors on each other it goes row by row and you knot on base strings so you have a certain number of base strings and you take your first color which is most likely the background color and knot on the base strings if you go to the filter on the pattern section of bracelet book and hit alpha then it will show you alpha patterns also masha knots has a great video explaining what an alpha is that is probably way better then my explanation on YouTube

@Lexiloo852 Alphas are a type of bracelet where instead of making knots with all your different strings, you make knots with one string at a time onto all your other strings. That’s a pretty rough explanation haha, so I recommend Masha Knots’ YouTube video called “flat alpha bracelets”

@peyton721 I usually do wings span or half wings span which is basically one hand to the other or one hand to the chest

@stewon6969 if you have a computer and hover over your profile their is an option to add pictures and then the other way is the pattern you have that you want to post a picture of on your phone go to that pattern and on the right hand side there is a plus click that and hit add photos
