I would just tape a new base string to the surface right behind where the old one snapped, then continue knotting over it like normal for a few rows. Once it feels secure you can take the tape off and cut the extra string hanging off the back.

This trick only works if you have a significant portion of the pattern done already, but If you don't have tape like I frequently don't tie a knot of embroidery floss or whatever you are knotting with on to a safety pin and pin the safety pin high enough onto your bracelet, that you can incorporate the string that way!

Just weave it back in like you would with the leading string. Hope this helps Mira! 😊
