My alpha knots just look too...knotted? Like the back of a normal pattern bracelet. Any tips on how to make them flatter? I know there is prob like a YouTube video but I thought it would be better to ask on here ๐Ÿ™‚

Keeping your knotting tension consistent and using the straight edges technique should help. Also, Masha Knots has a YouTube video on the flat alpha technique. Itโ€™s hard to explain without a visual, but basically when you do a color switch, make the first half of your knot with the new leading string, cross the old leading string over that half, then make the second half of the knot with the new leading string

My alpha looked kinda bad when I didn't use the straight edge and flat alpha technique. You can practice by doing a rag rug or plain bracelet.
