Hey. I can do the normal candy stripe but when I get to the chevron the backwards knots my knots are weird. It’s like I have two knots instead of one. It’s like instead of one knot their is two little knots not making a big one and the other is fine still big. Please help!

I think that you are just not as experienced with your backward knots. Maybe practice backward knots by doing a candy stripe with only backward knots?

Yep! Doing only candy stripes to start out makes it so only your forward knots are developed. You need to do more chevrons or as @ariknots said, make candy stripes with only backward knots. @booobbbyyy

I suggest trying to make a candy stripe but only doing backward knots instead of forward. Or you could make a zig-zag bracelet were you do forward knots and then you do backward knots.

I would try to practice your backward knots! Also try to keep your knot tension the same! You could try doing a candy stripe bracelet with backward knots instead of forward. Remember practice, practice, practice! Hope this helps!! 😊

definitely practice makes perfect! if you dont want to do a backwards candy stripe you could also do a chinese staircase.
